The world premiere of 1.17am, or until the words run out by Zoe Hunter Gordon and directed by Sarah Stacey comes to the Finborough Theatre next year. Performances run Tuesday, 10 February - Saturday 7 March, 2026,
How well do you know the people you love? Katie and Roni were best friends, until they weren't. Now Katie's brother is dead, and the two girls unexpectedly find themselves together again – in his bedroom. Tonight they're going to tell each other the truth. Because the truth will set you free – won't it?
1.17am, or until the words run out is a claustrophobic, unexpectedly funny new play about friendship, lies and the things we can't say to the people we need most.
First developed with support from HighTide, 1.17am… now receives its world premiere at Finborough Theatre following three critically acclaimed sold-out previews at Theatre503.
