About the Show

Two Flat-Earthers head to Antarctica in Jessica Norman’s acclaimed debut, directed by Imy Wyatt Corner.

When Honey loses her sister, she undertakes a quest to the icy expanse of Antarctica, driven by grief and a yearning to reach the literal “edge of the world.” Christopher, a staunch Flat-Earther and truth-seeker, joins her on her journey as their romance unfolds amid surreal, fever-dream landscapes. As the pair confronts the planet’s harshest wilderness, they must face unsettling truths about each other—and the world they thought they knew.

The play marks the debut full‑length work from Jessica Norman, shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Playwriting and the Originals Playwriting Award. Norman’s script blends grief, obsession, and philosophical inquiry into a narrative that questions the line between belief and illusion.

Imy Wyatt Corner—recipient of a Fringe First Award and director of Duck, BEASTS, and Passing—leads the production, bringing a visually arresting, naturalistic staging informed by critical acclaim for her "leonine sleekness" and physical storytelling. The production is produced by Izzy Carney in partnership with 3 Hearts Canvas, making its world premiere at Arcola Theatre Studio 2.

"If this is a flawed play, it is heroically so with sparks of beautiful writing, good ideas and ambition. Norman is one to watch."

"The dialogue is swinging between romcom-style meet-cute and over-explaining the play’s thesis, you are left wondering whether it would be that easy to steal away from a cruise ship."

"Despite its stumbles, and some late-show choices... there is a lot of nuance and insight to be mined from Jessica Norman's play."

"This absolute gem of a show delivers up a (snow)storm, in a deceptively clever, superbly surreal contemplation of the confusing world of fake news and conspiracy theories."
