About the show
One survivor. One choice. A mysterious virus spreads across the globe. Cities fall silent. The undead roam. In a bunker beneath the streets of Seoul, one survivor takes shelter – alone. As days turn to weeks, supplies begin to dwindle. As weeks turn to months, isolation warps their sense of reality. Time fractures. Memories resurface. Fear rises. As the power fails and monsoon rains fall, they must make a choice: to survive, or to live. The Last Man is a gripping one-person musical that plunges audiences into the heart of a global catastrophe. Driven by an electrifying live rock score, this psychological thriller is packed with explosive energy, dark wit, and razor-sharp storytelling that questions what it truly means to be human. Following sell-out runs in Seoul, and now unleashed in London, this production marks the world premiere of a newly reimagined English-language version of the musical by Jishik Kim and Seungyeon Kwon, with Jethro Compton as dramaturg, and directed by its original Korean director, Daljung Kim.
