THE FINAL COUNTDOWN by Stef Porter

A hilarious new musical comedy

Rachel dreams of fame and recognition. Zander dreams of wealth and women.

Bonnie dreams of having a dream. To what lengths would you go to be successful?

'The Final Countdown' is a thoroughly modern musical following someone like you or me, like the person downstairs or like the person in Starbucks. Ambition is at the very root of our next day's planning, yet Rachel, Zander and Bonnie do not know where their hopes and dreams will lead.

This piece of punchy and hilarious new writing - at times fantastical, at times close to the bone - tracks three students in their final year at university as they plan, prioritise and panic. Is Zander's CV his saving grace? Is Rachel cut out to appear on television every day? Are Bonnie's trivial goals her downfall? Don't laugh too hard, just in case you're laughing at yourself!
