More about The Last Man

A mysterious virus devastates civilisation, leaving one man alone in bunker B-103. As the world outside collapses, he seals himself in with enough supplies to survive, cutting himself off from whateverremains beyond its walls.

At first, the bunker offers safety. But as time passes, isolation begins to take its toll. His sense of reality starts to fracture, memories resurface, and the line between past and present becomes increasingly blurred. The bunker shifts from refuge to prison, and survival - once his only focus - becomes uncertain.

Told through a compelling mix of psychological thriller, gig and video diary, The Last Man is a one-person musical driven by a powerful live rock score. Dark humour cuts through the tension, creating a striking balance between intensity and humanity. As the outside world remains silent, the inner world grows louder. Alone with his thoughts, he is forced to confront not only what has been lost, but what still matters.

At its heart, The Last Man asks a haunting question: when everything has changed, what does it really mean to survive? Is staying alive enough - or is there something more worth holding on to?

This production blends music, storytelling and raw performance to create an intimate and immersive theatrical experience, placing one man’s struggle for survival - and meaning - at its centre

Southwark Playhouse opens its second venue, one of London’s largest fringe theatres

Southwark Playhouse Elephant is just a ten-minute walk away from the ‘original’ Southwark Playhouse, which is, confusingly, also in Elephant but is being renamed the Southwark Playhouse Borough. 

But whatever: after years of anticipation, Fringe powerhouse Southwark Playhouse finally launches a second branch in 2023. Run by the original theatre’s long-time, low-key artistic director Chris Smyrnios, Southwark Playhouse Elephant has a 310-seat main house – that’s half again as big as the original theatre’s main house – plus a second space reserved for the local community.  

 
 

A third Southwark Playhouse, Southwark Playhouse London Bridge, is due to open in 2025.
