An original play inspired by Nick Hornby’s novel ‘A Long Way Down’. The play is about four complete strangers who feel their life is at a loose-end. On New Year’s Day, the individuals go to an abandoned rooftop in central London, to make a life changing decision. Little do they expect to see three other people having the same idea. So at a time that signals a new beginning, it could signal the end.
