Tickets exclusively sold at Qetc.nl
Directed by Mark Winstanley, the Queen’s English Theatre Company presents a contemporary and intimate play about consent within a relationship. Two young people fall in love, and deal with a trauma that fundamentally challenges their feelings for each other. A timely play for the #metoo era.
"I’m a good person, I’m a nice person, I couldn’t do that"
On the first day of their Drama degree, W and M are thrown together as scene partners. Their relationship soon progresses in a romantic haze of young passionate love with all the usual ceremonies; meeting the families, going away together and supporting each other through the stresses of their degree. They listen to each other. They respect each other. But everything changes after a drunken evening out with their friends.
QETC’s production of Endless Second is character-driven, humorous and thought-provoking - unmissable in the post #metoo movement world.
Running time: 60 minutes - no interval
