The Last Quiz Night on Earth: An “explosive preapocalyptic comedy” set to run at Buckley pub
The Last Quiz Night on Earth will visit the Burntwood Pub, Buckley later this month.
Produced by Box of Tricks Theatre, The Last Quiz Night on Earth is an immersive comedy with a twist, set the night before an apocalyptic event.
An asteroid is heading toward the earth, what would you do? Head to your local for a pub quiz, of course!
Landlady Kathy invites audiences to the last quiz night on earth with quizmaster Rav.
He’s the host with the most, but with time ticking some unanticipated guests turn up out of the blue.
Expect the unexpected to the bitter end and plenty of drama.
Offering audiences a very different experience of live performance.
Combining pub quiz with live performance, writer Alison Carr wanted to create a performance people would feel safe to get involved with.
She explains: “I wanted to combine the known and the unknown, the safe and the downright terrifying.”
“My vision was to create something that audiences don’t just sit and watch but are part of – but not in a scary way. A quiz is something we can all do – whether we’re a general knowledge expert or the neatest so we can do the writing!”
