Synopsis
Ghosts of the Near Future
Published by Methuen Drama
1 Male 1 Female
It's easy to make you disappear, she says
And the figure is gone
Just like that
In Vegas, a magician performs a final disappearing act
The end of the world is a magic trick – are you watching closely?
Ghosts of the Near Future is a cowboy-noir fever dream about extinction
Colliding music, storytelling, and live micro-cinema, it is a hallucinatory road-trip through a vanishing landscape, a haunting collage of miracles and misdirection
It takes us to the brink of disaster and asks whether we're ready for what comes next
This edition was published to coincide with the production at Summerhall, Edinburgh, in August 2022
