The Last Five Minutes

So, we've only got five minutes left with you.  Five minutes until... tick tick...  You know the story. 

Boom. Five minutes.  We hope you'll stay with us until the end.  Please. 

Two people are trapped in a room with a deadly bomb ticking down for the last 5 minutes.  There's no escape routes, no toilet facilities and no refill for his inhaler.  An absurd comedy from the company that brought you Little Johnny's Big Gay Wedding.   After the success of Smalltown, The Promise and Little Johnny’s Big Gay Wedding, Random Accomplice help celebrate the National Theatre of Scotland's 5th Birthday by being part of 5 Minute Theatre, a collection of short theatre pieces with a strong Scottish identity.

The Last Five Minutes is the first in a series of Random Bites: small-scale intimate theatre performances designed to make its audience gasp, giggle and greet.
