World’s End

Writer: James Corley
Director: Harry Mackrill
Producer: Nisha Oza Productions
King’s Head Theatre, 2019

Starring Mirlind Bega, Nikolaus Brahimllari, Tom Milligan and Patricia Potter, World's End closed the King's Head Theatre's hugely popular annual Queer Season; a celebration of the most innovative LGBTQI+ theatre being created in Britain.

November 1998. As the war in Kosovo plays out, two families in London fight for their own freedom. But freedom takes courage and all Ben wants to do is finish his new video game.

A subtle rumination on single parenthood, sexuality and video games, James Corley’s debut play is a deceptively gentle and achingly tender portrait of lives lived in the heart of the city, yet squarely on the world’s edges.

World's End is published by Bloomsbury
