Directed by Joe Douglas | Cast - Marc Mackinnon
An electrifying show full of music and laughter by Brian James O’Sullivan that asks “how would you want to spend your last hour?”
The world is going to end. Tonight. It’s a bit shite.
Sam knows this, and so does the audience who are choosing to spend their last hour on Earth in a dingy cabaret bar.
All Sam has ever wanted to do is to make people happy. But is giving one last performance to his loyal audience really the best way to spend his final hours on Earth?
Co-presented with Traverse Theatre and The Gaiety.
