Adam Scott-Rowley (creator of the award-winning ★★★★★ THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT) presents YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.
Performed entirely naked, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE is a nail-biting descent into the loneliness, pain and existential anxiety of our time. A surreal meditation to remind you of your impending annihilation.
Brace yourself for a shared purge, as this show illuminates the darkest corners of the human psyche, kindles compassion in the most unlikely of places, and encourages us to reemerge from these depths together with kindness and humility.
It’s fucking funny too.
