we were promised honey!
A play that defies labels... gorgeously endearing and pleasantly provocative
"The show that we're about to do is a story of the future. The story we're going to tell is the story of us."
A lone performer tells the story of the future of the audience; what's going to happen to them in the decades, centuries, millennia after the end of this show. It's the story of a baby born in a lighthouse, of someone on fire in the middle of the desert, of two lovers reunited in a flooded city, of a spaceship on the edge of a black hole. Everything has already been decided. This is the story of the end.
Catch this unmissable, Fringe-sellout experience of communal storytelling from the makers of Five Encounters on a Site Called Craigslist and the accident did not take place. A hopeful, hopeless prophecy for earth and humankind. A story of us, our future, of paradise and how we get there in the end.

This is climate change theatre, without the hand-wringing and papier-mâché sculptures of doomed rainforest animals. Instead, Ward points to the power of choice.
Truly captivating
Extraordinarily vivid
Ward creates a sense of joyful collective enterprise, his lyrical script gently prodding us to take ownership of the choices we make and, perhaps, accept some responsibility for our future.
