"You cannot leave until our work is done, nor can I. We are bound to our work, and we must keep working, on and on and on and on and on, never stopping, never faltering, never breathing, never sleeping, working and working and working and working, you and I, until the end of time, until the sun bursts and humanity burns."

synopsis
In 19th Century England, a renowned Artist looks at his illustrious career and faultless success. He has admirers all over the globe and has made more money than he can ever spend, but has it been worth it? Has all that he has sacrificed and all that is has cost brought him the happiness that he desires?
He craves a creation that will last forever, a perfect, immaculate work that will live eternally as the greatest piece of art ever created, that will prove that all of his hard work and toil wasn’t for nothing. But is it possible? What would it be? And is he willing to pay the price?
A half-hour one-man play telling a story of desire, madness, love and loss. Join him as he is consumed further and further into his own delusion, and see if you end up there with him…
