THE THING WITH FEATHERS

THE THING WITH FEATHERS by Giulia Fincato

Directed by Yanni Ng

Emily and Sue, a poet and an artist, have been together for 60 years; painting, writing, trying to spread their words to whoever will listen. But it’s the end of the world. Is anyone still listening?

Through their stories of love and the apocalypse, they desperately try to find an answer to the unanswerable, find a through line, find something which will make it all make sense: after the end of the world, what remains?

Hope, maybe.

Longlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Prize, THE THING WITH FEATHERS will have its full-length Manchester premiere at the King’s Arms in November.
