what are we going to do when this is all over?
what are we going to do when this is all over? is a play about the memories we hope we never forget and the ones we know we should.
Helen and Alexander have been creating theatre together for a number of years, but as Helen’s memory begins to fail and they realise this is something worse than just brain fog, Alexander begins to discover things Helen has been hiding from him for years. Helen’s secrets begin to be revealed as the play comes to its dramatic climax. When Alexander realises Helen’s desires are darker than he ever imagined, he tries to cover her tracks, putting himself in the firing line. The play’s dramatic conclusion may very well be the end of Helen and Alexander forever.
Incorporating Split Infinitive’s signature interactive/immersive and autobiographical style of performance, what are we going to do when this is all over? shows a darker side to memory loss, marriage, and how far we will go to protect the ones we love.
