Short Attention Span Theatre returns with a darkly comic collection of six short plays exploring what happens when worlds collide – and fall apart. Strand yourself on a mysterious island where two survivors can’t agree if it’s the apocalypse or just Hastings. Navigate the absurd bureaucracy of grief alongside a daughter discovering her dad had secrets. Watch an ancient bog witch try to close a deal with Beelzebub while her boyfriend hunts for his keys. Meet a man with the Highland gift of foresight trying to stop a robbery so he can get back to the football. Witness Robert Louis Stevenson confronted by the manuscript he burned – demanding to be reborn. And join two ghost hunters who get more than they bargained for. From the supernatural to the surreal, from grief to the end of the world, these six plays prove that the best stories come in short, sharp bursts.
