Michaelmas Week 2

Two young men arrive at the end of the line. As the last train slips away forever, they are faced with the universal predicament of choice. Should we regret or be happy with our past? Were the choices we’ve made the right ones? And most importantly: how should we spend the last few moments of our lives? ‘Untimely Figs’ is a piercing and rapid new piece of writing which explores mortality with both humour and tragedy. It is a drama that any audience will feel themselves being drawn into emotionally and philosophically. Performed in ‘real-time’, the Corpus Playroom becomes a ticking bomb as we watch an unrelenting clock count down to the last second. Will they find the ‘right way’ to end?’
