Bringer of Doom - a comedy for the stage

About the Play

With a surprise visit from her estranged, despised mother and her mother's young lover on tap, Lotte enlists an alcoholic ex-stand-up comedian, Demetrius, to brutally "roast" the maligned pair at dinner. As the night ensues, however, even darker ulterior motives come to light and events take a madcap, morbid turn that nobody saw coming.

A daring, debauched, and (at times) otherworldly comedy, Bringer of Doom was a 2022 Finalist for the Ambassador Theatre Group’s Playwright’s Prize in association with Platform Presents. This is its world premiere.
