The Final Hours Hour
THE WORLD IS OVER... BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON
"Curl yourselves up
with a nice mug of tea. If you don't have tea, just a mug of hot water.
If you don't have heat, just a mug of water. If you don't have water,
just a mug. If you don't have a mug, just your hopes and dreams will do.
If you don't have those... anyway, here's a song".
Tune in,
if you can, to The Final Hours Hour: the world's best, and perhaps only,
radio programme. One lone soul surviving in a bunker is broadcasting a
radio show to anyone who might be listening across the very dead air.
The Final Hours Hour is a solo comedy play about loneliness, our dying
planet, and the things we do to counteract them both. Also: onions.
Clever
and silly, bleak and fun, a cry for help and a declaration of acceptance.
Please note: This event has had a venue change from Judy's at HST to The Ruby Room since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed.
