Demise – A Series of Tragic Tales

Directed by Nicky Fernandes

Step into the unsettling yet captivating world of “Demise,” a riveting collection of four short plays by Natasha Daly that masterfully blend dark humour with the exploration of trauma and tragic endings. Each story, set against different decades—from the vibrant 1940s to the anxious present—unfolds raw narratives brimming with emotional tension and unexpected wit.

“Sweet Comic Valentine,” set in a 1940s speakeasy bar, a charming hitman grapples with his conscience as he falls for an innocent woman, highlighting the absurdity of love in a life steeped in darkness, where laughter and horror coexist.

“Reasons Why You Should Eat Me,” set in 1950s atop a snowy mountain,  presents a desperate survival scenario that combines morbid humor with the grim realities faced by two plane crash survivors, showcasing how humor can emerge even in dire circumstances.

“Cancel My Appointments,” set in a 1970s pyschedelic doctor’s office, dives into a man’s existential crisis, where he navigates his unhappiness with a comedic lens, revealing the absurdities of life’s pressures and expectations.

Finally, “Fishing,” set in a contemporary apartment, serves a chilling twist, interspersed with sharp, dark humor that uncovers the sinister sides of seemingly innocuous interactions.

Daly’s writing invites the audience to confront the complexities of human nature, where humour often becomes a coping mechanism against the backdrop of despair. 

⚠️ Content Warning: Mature Themes

Demise explores mature and potentially distressing content, including themes of mental health struggles, trauma, existential despair, violence, and death, all framed through the lens of dark humour.

Each play presents emotional and psychological challenges that may be triggering for some audience members.

While humour is a powerful tool in these stories, it is often used to highlight or cope with difficult realities.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Directed by Jonathan Canning

Adapted from Stephen King’s acclaimed novel, Misery tells the story of novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by Annie Wilkes, a former nurse and his self-proclaimed “number one fan.” At first, Annie’s care seems like a stroke of luck, but Paul soon realises she has no intention of letting him go. 

Annie’s obsession with Paul’s fictional heroine leads her to demand a new book written to her liking. Isolated and confined, Paul faces the difficult task of meeting Annie’s expectations while searching for a way out. 

Misery is an intimate and tense drama that examines themes of power, control, and the fine line between admiration and obsession. Set almost entirely within the walls of Annie’s farmhouse, the play offers a close and unsettling look at two characters bound together in a dangerous struggle of wills.
