Together In The End, Theatro Technis
For Camden Fringe 2025 we are attempting to reach 100 interviews to highlight as many of the shows performing as we possibly can. Every day we will publish new interviews, so do keep coming back to see how close to our target we can get. You can find all our Camden Fringe interviews here.
Ryan Rusconi’s NCProductions’ make their Camden Fringe debut with Together In The End, which they are bringing to Theatro Technis on 2 August (tickets here). The play takes place on a holiday in the South of France which is upended by an existential threat, forcing Adam and Viv to demand answers to questions they thought could be ignored forever.
And talking of questions that demand answers, yes, we grabbed some time with Ryan to do just that.
What can audiences expect from the show?
Together in the End is an urgent, intimate, and emotionally-charged new theatrical piece. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling holiday in the South of France, Adam and Viv must confront not only the end of the world, but the raw truth of their own relationship. Written by Niall McCarthy and powered by NCProductions’ bold vision, the show strips everything back to the core: two people, one impossible moment, and everything they’re afraid to say. Expect a night of sharp dialogue, gut-punch emotion, and questions that linger long after the lights go down. For anyone who’s ever wondered what really matters in the end — this is for you.
Is Camden Fringe going to be the show’s first time on stage, or have you already performed elsewhere?
Yes, Together in the End is a world premiere, and we’re thrilled to be debuting it at Camden Fringe. This marks NCProductions’ first time at the festival, and as a North London-based company, it felt like the perfect place to launch something new, bold, and deeply personal.
Camden Fringe is known for championing fresh voices and daring work, and that aligns perfectly with our mission as a company. We wanted our first outing with this piece to be somewhere that values risk-taking and emotional honesty — and Camden Fringe is exactly that.
What brought you all together?
We came together through a mix of personal networks, creative collaboration, and a healthy dose of social media serendipity. Some of us have known each other for years — from drama school, local theatre, or past projects — while others connected more recently through online platforms, drawn together by a shared passion for telling bold, human stories.
Being a fringe festival, we all know sets have to be bare minimum, how have you got around this with your set and props?
We’ve fully embraced the limitations — in fact, they’ve become part of the creative challenge. Our entire set and all props are 100% repurposed — nothing new, everything reused or recycled. It’s a conscious choice that reflects both our values as a company.
By working with what already exists, we’ve created a space that feels lived-in, real, and entirely in service of the story. The minimalism keeps the focus where it belongs: on the performances, the writing, and the emotional intensity between two people at the edge of something huge.
What has been the biggest challenge in realising the writer’s vision for the show?
One of the most ambitious moments in the script is a sudden, surreal sequence where the two characters break into a dance that “paints the whole theatre.” It’s a bold, imaginative image — and naturally, staging something that expansive within the limits of a fringe venue has been a real creative challenge.
We’ve had to think hard about how to honour that vision without relying on big tech or elaborate visuals. It pushed us to get inventive with movement, sound, and suggestion — to evoke the feeling of that transformation in a way that fits the space but still delivers impact.
