One night, two friends, a dead man’s room.
The world premiere
10 Feb - 7 Mar 2026
About The Play
How well do you know the people you love?
Katie and Roni were best friends, until they weren't.
Now Katie’s brother is dead, and the two girls unexpectedly find themselves together again – in his bedroom.
Tonight they’re going to tell each other the truth.
Because the truth will set you free – won’t it?
A claustrophobic, unexpectedly funny new play about friendship, lies and the things we can’t say to the people we need most.
First developed with support from HighTide, 1.17am… now receives its world premiere, following a critically acclaimed sell-out preview run at Theatre503
