It’s time. The apocalypse is nigh. We’ve reached the end of the world.
In the midst of an existential crisis, Trisha decides to organise an orgy. And why not? If there’s no hope for civilisation, shouldn’t we live a little? Have some fun? Give in to our animal urges? Granted, this isn’t something she has much experience in, but it seems fairly straightforward. What could go wrong?
The night kicks off as the early-birds start to arrive. But when the weather turns, a government warning tells everyone to stay indoors or face certain death. It looks like this is it; an orgy of four nervous wallflowers pushed outside their comfort zone. As Trisha does her best to keep the night on track, insecurities and brutal truths are exposed. Are the guests here for a good time, or are they just scared of being alone?
A comedy that thrives in the face of doom, Orgy at the End of the World asks the big questions: what sort of canapés should be served at an orgy? Is Enya an appropriate soundtrack? And lastly, in the face of certain doom, who would you want by your side?
