“Hell is other people”

Lost souls stuck in limbo, where over thousands of years together their hopes, dreams, secrets and lies come to light and steer them to their final destination…

Fully improvised theatre inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit and directed by veteran improviser Chris Mead. Dead Ends is a showcase night for students of Chris’ 5-day intensive course for exploring improvised theatre.

We aim to make a show that is funny, challenging, thoughtful and hopeful in equal measure.
