Love at the End of Time
Love at the End of Time
by Roderick Ford
In a city washed clean by catastrophe, four survivors circle each other in a strange new world of bewilderment, desire, and suspicion.
Love at the End of Time is a darkly absurd, mythic fantasy. Intimate, unsettling, and shot through with flashes of humour.
Written by award-winning poet and playwright Roderick Ford, whose work often draws on gothic and outsider perspectives, this play rewrites the boundaries between human and other, memory and enchantment, grief and renewal.
What might love mean when the old world has ended?
Directed by Aoife Spillane-Hinks, with set & costume design by Alyson Cummins, lighting design by Stephen Dodd and sound design by Carl Kennedy, the production places raw human connection at the centre of a world on the edge of the uncanny.
Love at the End of Time premiered on 5 November 2025 at Project Arts Centre in Dublin.
