We Were Promised Honey

YESYESNONO


From the makers of Five Encounters on a Site Called Craigslist and The Accident Did Not Take Place comes an act of communal storytelling. A hopeful, hopeless prophecy for earth and humankind. A story of us, our future, of paradise and how we get there in the end.

“The show that we’re about to do is a story of the future. The story we’re going to tell, is the story of us… our future”

A lone performer tells the story of the future of the audience; what’s going to happen to them in the decades, centuries, millenia after the end of this show. It’s the story of a baby born in a lighthouse, of someone on fire in the middle of the desert, of two lovers reunited in a flooded city, of a spaceship on the edge of a black hole. Everything has already been decided. This is the story of the end.


YESYESNONO make shows that feel completely different to anybody else’ 

EXEUNT

★★★★★ – ‘In an aerial feat of storytelling Sam sets the audience down in the here
and now, armed with hope on the brink of sure disaster

THE SCOTSMAN

★★★★★ – ‘It’s an apocalyptic, strange hour of theatre that makes you feel grateful to
be alive, grateful to be part of a communal gathering of people, even as it erodes the
very ground you’re standing on

THE FINANCIAL TIMES

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ YESYESNONO have produced another work of theatrical magic.

Paul T. Davies, BritishTheatre.com

★★★★ – “A joyful collective enterprise… a bittersweet contemplation of fate”
