A breathtaking evening of dance by one of the UK’s most in-demand companies.

“a bold, fresh, innovative, modern piece of work with real intent and ambition” thepublicreviews.com

Featuring six engaging dancers with exceptional physical skill, Last Man Standing is loosley based on the Terry Pratchett novel ‘ Last Hero’ and explores the fragility of human existence. The dancers use their full arsenal of throws, lifts and slides in a desperate, determined fight to survive
