- Running just for two months at London’s Brixton House, this limited engagement is a must-see for fans of whip-smart, contemporary drama.
Set in South London, One Way Out follows best friends Devonte, Paul, Tunde, and Salim as they approach the end of college. As life pulls them in different directions, an earth-shattering event forces them to confront harsh realities—how they're seen, where they belong, and who they're expected to become. With their brotherhood hanging in the balance, they're faced with choices that could change everything. Is your fate already decided, or is there one way out?
These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
