An asteroid is heading towards Earth, so what you would do? Head to your local pub for a quiz of course!
The Last Quiz Night on Earth is an immersive, innovative new play by Alison Carr – and it’s being taken on a UK Tour by Box of Tricks theatre company, promising audiences a very different experience of live performance.
The play goes on tour throughout Spring 2020. The Last Quiz Night on Earth will be staged in urban and rural venues across the country, including theatres, community arts centres and local pubs – enabling the play to connect with audiences in their local communities. The immersive play smashes the fourth wall as audiences are plunged into the drama of the show.
The tour opens at the Welcome Inn in Salford, in association with The Lowry, from Tuesday 11 February to Saturday 15 February 2020, before touring unusual spaces until Saturday 11 April 2020.
Following two sold-out tours of Chip Shop Chips, Box of Tricks presents this brand new pre-apocalyptic comedy, The Last Quiz Night on Earth.
It’s the final countdown. Landlady Kathy invites audiences to the last quiz night on earth with Quizmaster Rav. He’s the host with the most. But with time ticking, some unexpected guests turn up out of the blue. Bobby wants to settle old scores, and Fran wants one last shot at love. Expect the unexpected to the bitter end and plenty of drama as the show gets quizzical!
Casting will be announced early in 2020.
