An horrific accident. An artistic dilemma.
Frantic Assembly (Dirty Wonderland, Hymns, Peepshow) returns to the Lyric with a thrilling new collaboration with acclaimed writer Mark Ravenhill (Shopping and F**king).
A famous artist invites her old college friends out to her luxurious new home and, for one night only, the group is back together. However, celebrations come to an abrupt end when the host suffers a terrible accident. As the victim lies in a coma an almost unthinkable plan starts to take shape: could her suffering be their next work of art?
A visceral and shocking new show about the fragility of friendship, and the jealousy and resentment inspired by success.
A Frantic Assembly, Lyric Hammersmith and Drum Theatre Plymouth production.
