Eva Hudson’s 855-FOR-TRUTH comes to The Hope Theatre in February.
Blending dynamic love story and climate doomsday narrative, this story of shared humanity and our frustrated desire to fix our world and everyone in it, will explore how even the most polarising views can become similar.
Set somewhere in the woods between Hilldale, Utah, and The End of The World, an 18-year-old religious cult member and young climate scientist meet. Meredith, raised in a Christian cult, believes the world will end in six days whilst Isaac, an outsider environmentalist, is racing against time to figure out The Project.
Isaac will be played by Max Raphael (The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), with Molly Hanly (A Very Expensive Poison) starring as Meredith.
Written by Hudson, the production is brought to life by director Lydia McKinley (One of the Boys) and designer Rhiannon Binnington (The Hound of the Baskervilles). It previously played at London’s Pleasance Theatre and Bristol Old Vic in 2024.
855-FOR-TRUTH will run at The Hope Theatre from Tuesday, February 11-Saturday, February 22. Tickets: www.thehopetheatre.com
