New Cellars, Pembroke College

a new play by Greg Worden

When Gary was preparing for the end of his life, he thought it would be a private moment. But death, as well as life, very rarely goes to plan, and before he can jump from a very high height, he is joined by a complete stranger about to do the exact same thing. 

Can you help someone at their lowest point if you’re feeling just as hopeless? 

Can you persuade someone else that their life is worth living while you’re confident your own is not? 

These questions and more riddle these two unlikely friends, as they clamour to find a meaning of life in the most desperate of circumstances.
