1912 Productions have announced full casting for their new play, One Breath Before The End, due to tour three venues in May 2026.
Playing the role of Oliver will be Lewis Noble (13th Child, Breaking Cover, Get Lucky, Gale: Yellow Brick Road), while Olivia le May (Facing Evil, Blind Dates, The Janissary) will play Phoebe. Joshua Sinclair-Evans (Rain and Zoe Save the World, Casualty, Spider-Man: Far From Home, The War Between The Land and the Sea) plays Ash; rounding out the cast is James Chetwood (The Arsonist, Those Who Remain, The Extraordinary Marvel of Francesco Linguine) as Kieron.
This is the second play from 1912 Productions, following their acclaimed 2024 tour of “Can’t Wait To Leave”.
"It's always been the end."The sky's on fire and everything's falling apart. Out of options, inseparable trio Ash, Oliver, and Kieron have retreated to their old childhood hangout to figure out what the plan is – or whether there's even one at all.
That’s until Phoebe turns up. Wanting to talk. Wanting connection. Wanting forgiveness.
As the hours tick down, old grudges are unearthed and tempers flare as the group struggle to come to terms with the decade-long fallout of an event that drove them apart. If all you had was one night, do you think you could make things right again?
The second play from Stephen Leach (Can't Wait To Leave, Vera; or, the Nihilists) and directed by Mimi Collins (Good Girl, Water Party, Snakeskin Suit), One Breath Before The End is a radical and acutely intimate piece exploring how far the bonds of friendship can be tested in the face of disaster.
