Synopsis

A young and successful urban couple becomes convinced that their lifestyle is coming to an end.

They become “preppers,” hoarding supplies and learning to hunt.

But their obsession takes its toll, and they are both forced to imagine the apocalypse without the love of their life.

A romantic comedy about the end of days.

Press Reviews

"The wisecracks and one-liners come fast and furious [...] a fitfully entertaining, romantic comedy decked out in camouflage."

— Vancouver Sun

"The play is filled with nods to our distraction-prone, screen-addled culture [...] Hall has tapped into a powerful modern undercurrent with Apocalypse."

— Daily Hive
