ELEVATOR
Two teenagers. A jammed lift. No mobile signal.
4 - 22 May

‘Listen. Listen…days ago, I had this idea. I just couldn’t make it clear in my mind. But now I can.’

Inspired by a true story, Gabriel Pintilei’s moving two-hander explores human dynamics in an extreme environment as it follows two youngsters’ journey through one of life’s worst nightmares. Spurred on by a sense of romantic adventure, they find themselves trapped inside the lift of an abandoned building. As one failed attempt follows another, and jokes are wearing thin, how long before innocence, friendship and stamina collapse under the weight of their confined existence?

Best New Play at The Romanian Dramaturgy Festival 2007.
