Modern relationships are curious things, and the haphazard and surprising ways in which they can unfold are explored in David Ireland’s latest work, The End of Hope, showing in the Soho Theatre this October.
Award-winning playwright David Ireland (Cyprus Avenue) explores the getting to know you process. The quirky comedy centres around Dermot and Janet, who are getting to know each other ahead of a one night stand. As the pair quickly learn that they disagree on almost everything, from politics to religion to sex, romantic connections prove more elusive than either of them anticipated.

The End of Hope comes to Soho Theatre after runs in Glasgow’s Òran Mór and Richmond's Orange Tree Theatre. Expect taboos to be broken, lines to be crossed, and laughs to be had in this play which reviews have described as ‘complex, hilarious and fascinating
