Two failing writers recalling a drunken night remember a stroke of fortune which motivates them to finish their play. However, as creative tensions flare and truths are revealed, the narrative of their own struggles takes centre stage… Famous Last Words is a darkly comic exploration of art and its place in the world; through narrative playfulness, striking visuals and dynamic dialogue, this original work aims not just to bring our stories to life but to show the real life in all of our stories.
