We've all spent time, at some point in our lives, imagining what we would do if the world came to an end and that's exactly what A Thousand Stars Explode in the Sky does. This new production at the Lyric examines how the impending Armageddon affects one family on a farm in the North East of England. This collaboration between three top British playwrights presents a "juicy prospect" (The Guardian). Playwrights David Eldridge, (Under the Blue Sky, Market Boy and Festen), Robert Holman, whose recent work includes Across Oka (Royal Shakespeare Company) and Jonah and Otto (Royal Exchange Theatre), and Lyric Artistic Associate Simon Stephens (Punk Rock, also at the Lyric), came together to create this poignant play about the end of time. With such a strong trio of writers, each well known for his ability to address thorny and unsettling issues, A Thousand Stars Explode in the Sky promises to be an intelligent, thought-provoking night out at the theatre.About Lyric Hammersmith
Frank Matcham's velvet and gilt theatre was saved from demolition - following a public outcry - by being carefully dismantled, moved from its location further down King Street and then rehoused on its current site. As a consequence, the Lyric Hammersmith's gorgeous Victorian auditorium is housed in a severely utlitarian concrete cube, above Kings Mall shopping centre. More about Lyric Hammersmith
