Ives and Nora say goodbye. To their young audience, to their profession, to each other. They are on stage for the last time. What a thrill. They remember their first times. They want EVERYTHING again. Searching for words, for gestures. They want to go but can’t. The don’t know how. And where would they go? Trying, struggling, disappearing and coming back again and again. It’s sadly funny. A long goodbye – Will they make it? Ives and Nora wink at you one last time. Or is it the first time? ‘The Last Show’ is about goodbyes and the last time. The play looks at life from different perspectives. The audience witnesses farewells and provides impetus for things to happen. It is about the desire to let go and the power of new beginnings.
