What is it that you would want to be preserved for eternity?

A man wakes in the middle of the night to discover that the world has stopped.

Through the crack in his bedroom curtains he can see no signs of life at all…other than a light in the house opposite where a woman in an oversized Bowie T-shirt stands, looking back at him.

The Greatest Play in the History of the World is a beautifully constructed love story, set on Preston Road and also in space and in time. Presented as a monologue for one actor, it asks profound questions with deepest sincerity whilst simultaneously balancing the human quest for meaningful connections.

This edition was published to coincide with the play’s run at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in summer 2018 starring Julie Hesmondhalgh.
