Heads Up cover

A critically acclaimed new work that won Fringe First at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

A teenage girl boils up in rage in a toilet cubicle. A finance worker preaches doom in a busy train station. An absurd coke-addled celebrity races through town on a mission. A paranoid stoner stares blankly at the endless disasters on the TV news. In just one moment, all their worlds will end.A teenage girl boils up in rage in a toilet cubicle.

Superb storytelling theatre… Hurley’s new show is a quiet hurricane blowing through the city. It is anxious whisper that becomes a shout; a moment of silence that turns into the high-pitched whine of catastrophe * The Guardian *
Urgent, compelling, beautiful writing…confirms Hurley’s status as one of the most powerful writers to emerge in British theatre this decade * The Scotsman *
Acutely observed yet ferociously powerful storytelling * The Independent *
