'The world. This is our overwhelming subject.'

An extremely rare opportunity to see the first ever European staging of an unpublished dramatic work by Don DeLillo, acclaimed author of White Noise and Underworld. This one-act performance follows an encounter between a modern pilgrim and a self-exiled scholar, attempting to come to terms with the ultimate contemporary question: what is happening? What follows is a dazzling comic and philosophical journey through language, climate change and the modern world, written with the characteristic beauty and insight that has long made DeLillo one of our greatest cultural commentators.
