Podcast: Stepping Up To The End of the World

David Brady discusses Proforca Theatre’s And If The Surface Tension Breaks

It’s always lovely to chat to old friends, and that’s just what this week’s podcast is. David Brady, Artistic Director of Lion and Unicorn Theatre and Proforca Theatre, has been a guest at least three times before, but that’s no reason not to ask him back because he is always a lot of fun.

This time it’s to chat about their latest work And If The Surface Tension Breaks, a show about “the end of the world, living for the moment, and the mother of all goodbye parties”. What’s not to love?

So we chat about why this is more about people than the end of the world, the importance of music when working on new shows, where that the show title comes from (there’s a clue in the title of this episode) and we even find time to ask about new year’s resolutions.

And If The Surface Tension Breaks comes to Lion and Unicorn Theatre betwen 11 February and 1 March, more information and bookings ⁠here⁠.

The playlist created for the show can be listened to here.

And If The Surface Tension Breaks

Lion and Unicorn Theatre

11 February – 1 March

A brand new show about the end of the world, living for the moment, and the mother of all goodbye parties from critically acclaimed Proforca Theatre Company

Cheer up. It’s not the end of the world. Is it? 

In the split second before a rare (and frankly inconvenient) cosmic event tears Planet Earth to atoms, the last human alive experiences one final moment of consciousness. A one-way rollercoaster ride to the edge of the apocalypse as life, death and the universe collide one final time…

As the atmosphere evaporates, the oceans boil and the world burns, you’re invited to join us to wave goodbye to the past, live in the moment, and celebrate a future that will never come to pass, as one man hurtles from the Last Gasp to the Big Bang and back again. 

And you’ll never guess what happened next…

And If The Surface Tension Breaks is a brand new show about the end of the world, living for the moment, and the mother of all goodbye parties from critically acclaimed Proforca Theatre Company and the team that brought you Feel, At Last, and the Offie-Nominated creatives behind Lately (2021) & Flashbang (2022/24). 

Bookings available here.
