PRECIPICE
Centuries apart, the residents of a towering high-rise arrive at a crossroads, taking shelter along the riverbank in Greenwich – the place where time begins and the world ends.
In the near present, a biomedical emergency drives a young couple to confront their own complicity in the face of impending catastrophe.
Four hundred years from now, those who remain celebrate their survival, while long buried truths threaten to unravel their carefully constructed way of life.
As the tides rise and the power fails, two timelines converge in a single flat, where yesterday’s mistakes become tomorrow’s reckonings.
A darkly funny new musical with a thrilling electro-folk score, Precipice is a story of crisis, humanity, and hope at the edge of disaster.
Precipice is the debut show from Timelapse, created collaboratively by Stu Barter (Talkshow), Rachel Bellman (These Demons), Darren Clark (Olivier winner for Benjamin Button), Annabelle Lee Revak (Windsong), Shaye Poulton Richards (Lies All The Way Down), and Timelapse Artistic Director Adam Lenson (Cable Street).
