10,000

If you hit restart enough times, can you fix a broken relationship? 10,000 is an imaginative riff on the breakup drama.

A young couple play a video game to help save their flatlining marriage – but when the game becomes a little too real, they find themselves fighting for more than just their relationship. Can these twenty-somethings learn to put down their swords, or will old patterns die hard?

Written by and featuring Jessica Messenger and Nick Maclaine this daring new play deftly blends action, fantasy and drama. Can people perfect flawed relationships? Is love just an excuse we use to hurt people we care about? 10,000 tackles these questions with heart and humour against a backdrop that’s part science fiction, part high fantasy, but always profoundly close to home.

Pick a side, choose a weapon… this is Before Sunrise meets Scott Pilgrim Versus The World.
