Two men meet on a subway platform; the chance encounter instantly changing the trajectory of both their lives. 

Thrown together, their conversation quickly turns to the most essential and existential questions facing humanity. While their beliefs seem irreconcilable, the answers they seek could mean the difference between life and death.

Multi award-winning writer Cormac McCarthy‘s gripping play explores redemption, faith and free will – can you be your brother’s keeper if he doesn’t want to be kept? His celebrated other works include The Road, All the Pretty Horses and No Country for Old Men. 

The London premiere of The Sunset Limited will be directed by Olivier and Tony Award-winner Terry Johnson, whose credits include West End hits Mrs Henderson Presents, La Cage aux Folles and The Graduate.

First visit. Nice ambiance, pleasant interested staff and a fabulous production.

Good show, but we paid quite a premium. Nice to have our seats upgraded at no extra charge as some seats were free which were nearer by. Thank you.

Richard Tucker

Superb production, wonderful script, great acting in a really good theatre.

The show was a brilliant two gander which gave us lots to think about. Unfortunately, our concentration was broken a couple of times by a staff radio

Excellent coverage of a well talked about and thought about topic, without the theatrics!

SVEN ARNSTEIN

An amazing well written two hander that was engrossing from start to finish because the performances were so strong. It discussed big issues with a lightness of touch and humour to be both entertaining and thought provoking.

Angela G

Great reflection and realisation of what life means to different people. We all just long for someone to love us unconditionally. Some have this from people and others have it from God.
