Last Night on Earth

Rumours of a new civilization being built on a planet elsewhere as the earth descends into climate disaster brings about a mass public revolt. David and Lisa have the opportunity to go. David is desperate to leave but Lisa, a former climate activist, is facing a big moral dilemma. Jamie, the couple’s best friend is being left behind, but he knows a dark secret of David’s, which could bring his plan to escape crashing down. Last Night on Earth was longlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for playwriting and it has also made the top 30 longlist of the Divided Culture Co Playwriting Award.
