Brand new play HELIUM to play at London’s The Space

Helium, a brand new play by Reading company Grumble Pup Theatre, will premiere at The Space in London from 6-10 July 2021.

In the wake of tragedy, Chloe, Ben, Kate, and David are slowly coming to realise one simple truth — bad things tend to happen to good people. They’re looking for a way out. And sometimes escape looks like a friendly face, a plane ticket, a tank of helium…

Written by James Turner and directed by Izzy Carney, the piece is inspired by the true story of Sharlotte Hydorn, a 91-year-old who made headlines in the 2010s for selling homemade suicide kits.

Helium is a challenging exploration of coping, hope, and loneliness that dares to delve into the rationale behind our most unthinkable acts. How can we overcome isolation? Why don’t we always do the right thing? And, most of all, where do we go from here?
