The Dying Wish
By Mauro Fazion
"It's 1984 meets Waiting for Godot!"
Rooney and Ingmar are seasoned hangmen doing their best to survive a job that no longer makes sense. When a new case tests the limits of reason, the cracks in the system — and in themselves — begin to show.
Following its sold-out run at the Golden Goose as part of the Lambeth Fringe Festival, Fractured Time Productions brings this fresh new production to the Drayton Arms Theatre. Darkly comic. Uncomfortably human. Unexpectedly moving.
