    The Greatest Play in the History of the World revolves around a man and a woman, who are neighbours. The man who wakes up in the middle of the night finds that time is strangely standing still. His bedroom is quiet, the street outside is quaint and motionless, and everything in the world seems to be unmoving except for him! The only thing he can see is a light in the house across the street, from which a woman wearing a large David Bowie t-shirt is staring back at him. The play stretches the imagination and takes you on a universal journey of love and the subtleties of life.
