Following sold out runs at Summerhall, Edinburgh Fringe and the VAULT Festival, new performance work YOU ARE GOING TO DIE comes to Southwark Playhouse Borough for a limited run. Performed entirely naked, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE is a nail-biting descent into existential anxiety as humanity stares down the proverbial toilet. At once comic, bleak and beautiful, Scott-Rowley, the creator of the 2017 sixteen ★★★★★ awarded and internationally touring show THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT evokes a world full of playful anarchic energy and mischievous bubbling humour, as his fantastical personas navigate the dark edges of existence and despair. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE, a surreal meditation on annihilation, rests on the knife edge between physical theatre and performance art. It offers a shared purge and illuminates the darkest corners of the human psyche, revealing compassion and humour in the most unlikely of places.
