Show Info
By Zoe Mills
Directed by Antony Eden
With Brigit Forsyth and Zoe Mills, with a special appearance by Robin Herford
Hester is determined to live her last days to the fullest. Even if it kills her...
Inspired by an original cello composition by Brigit Forsyth, which she will play live among a feast of cello classics. This hilarious and irreverent brand new comedy written by her daughter Zoe Mills and directed by A Brief History of Women (Brits Off Broadway, 2018) star Antony Eden, Killing Time explores inspiration, music, life, and the right to die.
With an ingenious mix of live cello, digital film, and soundscape, Killing Time moves, amuses, and provokes fresh thought on the most searching question we all may face: if you could leave the world your very last words... what would you say?
