There’s no future for Igg and Tom.
Couples therapy is going nowhere.
Environmental disaster is looming.
Is the only option to take a pill and fall in love?

‘I had this realisation that the world is about to end. That the fire is here to engulf us all. That our baby isn’t going to have a chance, that she never had a chance.’

Taking A Love Pill at the End of the World is a play about existing at the end. What would you do when faced with the destruction of everything? Is love the solution? It’s time for Igg and Tom to decide; take a pill prescribed by their therapist to fall in love, or separate and try to find happiness elsewhere.

There’s no time to have regrets.

Not Quite Ready’s new play is a snappy two-hander that promises live cooking and apocalyptic visions. The end of the world could be days away.

Latecomers may not be admitted. Please arrive in good time for the start time of 19:45.

No re-admittance once the performance has commenced. Refunds and exchanges are not available.
