~ DRAMATURG ~

Written by Tom Morton-Smith | Directed by Andrea Ling

Played at the Young Vic 26 Mar – 6 Apr 2024

A hotel bar in Geneva, the night before the Large Hadron Collider is switched on. A woman walks up to a man. She’s a journalist, trying to write a career-defining article, and he is a scientist, still reeling from a recent loss. What could have an obvious ending, turns into a story of two people’s worlds colliding for a brief, yet life-changing moment. 
 
Directed by 2023 Genesis Future Directors Award recipient, Andrea Ling, and written by the award-winning Tom Morton-Smith (My Neighbour Totoro, Oppenheimer at the RSC), The Earthworks is a moving and hilarious exploration into carrying the weight of grief and knowing when it’s time to let go.
