A city under attack from a nuclear blast. As the dust settles, Louise wakes to find herself in a fallout shelter with colleague Mark who has saved her life. They have enough water and food to last two weeks. Now they just need to find a way of surviving each other.
Directed by Lyndsey Turner, Dennis Kelly’s chilling play explores the resources we need to endure catastrophe.

In keeping with government guidelines, seating in our auditorium will be socially distanced and audiences can only attend in groups from the same household or support bubble. Our auditorium has seating banks of 1, 2, 3 and 4. Our booking system will only allow you to purchase all the tickets in a bank of seats. If you cannot find a seating bank of the right size for your selected performance, or you require any help when booking please contact our Box Office by emailing tickets@stratfordeast.com, using our web chat or calling 020 8534 0310. You can find out more about the safety measures in place, including wearing face coverings, NHS track & trace and temperature checks on our Welcoming Audiences Back page here.
The boxes have a slightly restricted view as do seats marked with an ‘i’.
To give bookers maximum flexibility for this production, customers can exchange their ticket without a fee up to 24 hours prior to the event. This is only valid when exchanging to another performance of the same production. If there is a difference in ticket price then you will need to pay the difference.
Our ticket prices increase as the theatre fills. We always recommend booking early to secure the best seats at the best price.
