FALSE CHOICES PLAYED AT THE PLEASANCE THEATRE LONDON AND THE KING'S HEAD THEATRE LONDON IN 2016
False Choices is the story of Matthew and Clara, who both committed suicide 50 years apart. Matthew is a modern-day South-Londoner who, in the moments before the play begins, has just jumped off Waterloo Bridge.
Matthew awakens to find himself in the ‘Grey’ - a purgatory-like place that offers each visitor the chance to continue on to the death they may have desired or go back to the lives they wanted to end.
The characters are offered three choices; LIVE, DIE or WAIT.
Press for False Choices...
“Considering this is Cronin’s debut work as playwright, in terms of script the play is impressive – Cronin has created two very well-rounded and totally believable characters with deep backstories and the piece is surprisingly poignant and complex in its subject matter especially.” LONDON THEATRE TOURIST
“False Choices is a provocative piece that offers an alternative perspective about a somber and tragically important subject.” ACTDROP REVIEW
“Megan Cronin’s bold new play … a quirky piece [with] the air of a teenage Beckett or a student Sartre” – LONDON THEATRE 1
“False Choices is an elegant and absorbing piece of new writing, with Cronin showing real promise as a playwright. I found myself utterly captivated when watching the play and hope to see more of this play, and from all involved, in the future.” LONDON THEATRE TOURIST
