Proforca Theatre concludes its tenth anniversary season with a revival of its 2019 dystopian thriller At Last, set in the aftermath of a fascist regime. Six years on, how does this politically-charged drama land?
At Last
Proforca Theatre is celebrating ten years with the return of one of its most explosive hits, 2019's dystopian thriller At Last, running for ten performances only at London's Lion & Unicorn Theatre. I can't wait to revisit the play and its added relevance in 2025.
