| Description |
This iconic Brisbane grunge play about the final days before the end of the world was first produced at La Boite Theatre in 1999. To quote critic Martin Buzacott, Generation Xers...abandoned by God and subject to information overload, contemplated their own visions of a new Doomsday...Ultimately, it's a play not so much about the impending apocalypse, as it is about love's ability to generate meaning and comfort in a world where the mere beat of a human heart or the simple touch of flesh can seem a latter-day miracle. |
