The Way Ahead
Peter Mieville
These performances have been rescheduled from the original run dates of 6th to the 10th December 2022.
The Way Ahead centres around a couple - one an actress/composer, the other a playwright, struggling with their relationship - who are on a quest to find the secret ingredient that allows a work to stand the test of time.
Can it be found? BE SURPRISED.
A strange encounter forces them to face hidden truths. A sacrifice must be made.
The play is set in the north west Highlands with a semi-mythical feel, and has surreal elements.
It explores different times/spaces, memory and the nature of relationship, with humour and compassion.
An uplifting journey into other worlds? BE PREPARED.
