As humankind lurches towards its inevitable demise, a new political party’s manifesto to accelerate towards oblivion begins to gain traction. This twisted dark comedy “WHAT IF ALL THIS IS REAL?” explores the outcome, when we’re given the choice to fast forward to the end in a flaming ball of hedonism. 

Written and directed by Neil Bebber, an award-winning writer who’s written for venues including National Theatre Wales, Old Vic Tunnels, Almeida Theatre and Bread & Roses. He was also a writer in residence at Theatr Clwyd in 2015.

Brought to the Alma by Exeter's Cygnet Theatre, and presented by their 2022 graduate students. Cygnet Theatre School is now in its 40th year and provides professional actor training to the next generation of theatre makers.
