It’s Headed Straight Towards Us comes to Park Theatre with Rufus Hound

It’s Headed Straight Towards Us is to make its world premiere at London’s Park Theatre this autumn.

Jonathan Church Theatre Productions and RJG Productions will present the comedy from 19 September – 20 October 2023, with previews from 13 September.

Written by stars of The Young Ones, Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer, the show will star Rufus Hound, Samuel West and Nenda Neururer.

Two actors, stuck in a trailer on the side of a volcano, in Iceland. The glacier is melting, the volcano is active. Bitter rivalries emerge between fussy ‘bit part’ actor Hugh Delavois and fading Hollywood bad boy Gary Savage, going back to their time at college together, as the film they are meant to be working on collapses around them and the trailer they are in begins to slip. An avalanche wipes out the only escape road and the only bridge to safety subsides into the ravine.

Stuck with them is 21-year-old Leela, the runner on the film, and supposed seismology expert. As their arguments and point-scoring become increasingly fractious, it is down to Leela to contain their petty squabbles and prepare them for the possibility that they may not get out of this alive.

Rachel Kavanaugh directs the production.
