Greatest Play in the History of the World

<i>What is it that you would want to be preserved for eternity? </i> <br/><i><br/></i>A man wakes in the middle of the night to discover that the world has stopped.<br/><i><br/></i>Through the crack in his bedroom curtains he can see no signs of life at all...other than a light in the house opposite where a woman in an oversized Bowie T-shirt stands looking back at him.<br/><br/><i>The Greatest Play in the History of the World </i>is a beautifully constructed love story set on Preston Road and also in space and in time. Presented as a monologue for one actor it asks profound questions with deepest sincerity whilst simultaneously balancing the human quest for meaningful connections. <br/><br/>This edition was published to coincide with the play's run at the Traverse Theatre Edinburgh in summer 2018 starring Julie Hesmondhalgh.
