"WHAT'S WRONG? NEVER GONE BACK TO A BLOKE'S FLAT BEFORE? AND DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK YOU'RE THE FIRST TO BE HERE?
YOU THINK I'M NOT FUSSY ABOUT WHO I KEEP FOR COMPANY? WHO GETS TO STAY... WHO GETS TO GO...?"
IN A LOCKED ROOM, IN A FLAT ABOVE THE CITY, TWO COMPLETE STRANGERS STRUGGLE TO COMPREHEND WHAT THE OTHER "HAD IN MIND". AS A BLURRY FRIDAY NIGHT CRAWLS TOWARDS AN AGONISING DAWN, WITH NO SALVATION IN SIGHT, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT ONE MAN'S DREAMLAND MAY BE ANOTHER MAN'S DYSTOPIA.
BUT WILL A KNOCK AT THE DOOR PROVE TO BE THE DIVINE INTERVENTION AND HAPPY ENDING TO THIS SINISTER, UNEASY AND BLACKLY-COMICAL URBAN FOLKTALE?
THIS BRAND NEW PLAY BY LEE JOSEPH ('OLD GROUND') IS DIRECTED BY AWARD-WINNING FILM-MAKER RICHARD ADDLESEE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE KING'S THEATRE.
LIMITED TO JUST FIVE PERFORMANCES, 'CALAMITY' TAKES A VIVID AND SUSPENSEFUL PEEK THROUGH A CROOKED WINDOW OF SOCIETY BY WHICH WE RARELY EVER DARE TO STOP AND STARE - OR WORSE - TITTER.
