About Up
Up - By Visible Fictions
The odds of perishing in a commercial plane accident are 29.4 million to one. Reassuring. Except if you're the one. As emergency masks plummet, engines squeal and hand baggage flies from the overhead bins, two strangers hold hands. Scared and breathless, their lives flash past as they face their final moments together.
Exploring themes of luck, choice, fate, coincidence and connection, this thrilling production, created by award-winning, critically acclaimed theatre company Visible Fictions, is a fantasy table-top exploration using object theatre and gripping storytelling.
