Content warning [May contain spoilers]
Even death can’t make him an angel.
Liam is dying, and worse, he’s impossible to live with. As illness traps him inside a cramped flat with his long-suffering boyfriend Matthew, love curdles into guilt, obligation and slowly mounting resentment. The pair argue, joke and unravel, fighting to have the last word as they circle an end neither of them can quite face.
A new student-written play which is set against the backdrop of the Troubles and the AIDS crisis. This dark comedy unfolds in a single unbroken scene, following one endless conversation where nothing, not even death, can bring closure.
This production is suitable for ages 18 and over.
