Life Without Me

Overview

Whether you’re a Contiki nut or have more Frequent Flyer points than friends, you’ve probably had a bad hotel or hostel experience. Broken lifts, short, foreign hairs on pillows, unflushable toilets, flocks of cockroaches, wafer-thin walls – it’s a traveller’s nightmare, and rarely endearing. Metro Arts’ latest stage show Life Without Me shows that behind all the flaws, faults and dysfunctions hotels can hold, there’s always room for adventure, especially when you’re stuck with a bunch of misfits.

Performed by an energetic team from Basement Arts, Life Without Me follows characters, their distresses, and loves, and the discomforts claustrophobia and unfluffed pillows can simultaneously fuel and solve. A widow’s grip loosens on the arid loss of a daughter, lovers find themselves at the hands of insanity, and a stranger lingers, but with little soul to involve himself in the crowd.

Life Without Me is a hotel mystery with spin and twists – you’ll be constantly asking yourself, Wotif?
