“I do not organise the ticket queue, it is up to the people in the ticket queue to organise themselves. Have I made myself clear?”
One final night
One last chance
Five people queue for a ticket to the hottest show in town
All they must do is simply wait in line
But what in life is ever simple?
Who will triumph, who will fail, and who will walk away with … The Last Return?
A new play by acclaimed playwright Sonya Kelly (Once Upon a Bridge, Furniture), The Last Return is a thrilling comedy about conflict, peace and the pursuit of territory at any cost
This edition was published to coincide with the premiere at Druid Theatre, Galway, in July 2022
