Gap in The Light

Theatre

120 minutes 

Two climbers make a journey, deep into somewhere they don’t belong. What they encounter in the dark feels real. What they bring back with them, into the light, will change everything. 

Engineer Theatre Collective explore what it is to be truly afraid. Blending striking physical storytelling with visceral design, The Gap in the Light traces the nightmares that disturb the sleep of our modern world. How far do we have to fall, and who will catch us when the rope snaps?

Produced with funds from Arts Council England, Gap in the Light played at the New Diorama in March 2017 to four star reviews. It was nominated for three Off-West-End Awards: Best Director, Best Ensemble and Best Producton.
