Coniston
10 Days and Counting is an intimate look into the lives of four strangers who find their fates intertwined when they are promised death in a mere ten days.
It poses the question 'Would you rather know how or when you'll die' and follows Cecelia, Jay, Lola, and Morty as they respond differently to the knowledge of 'when' and also in some cases 'how'.
WARNINGS: Coarse language, adult themes and flashing lights. The show also deals with issues surrounding suicide. Viewer discretion is advised
Presented by the fledgling copmany Paige 9 Productions, at the Phoenix Theatre, 24 Bridge Street, Coniston, from Friday April 23 until Saturday May 1. Bookings details www.facebook.com/page9productions
