Going Down
Written by Darren A. Furniss
Six people enter a lift. As it descends, they are forced to confront their deepest, darkest secrets.
GOING DOWN premiered at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2008 where it was described as "passionate, powerful and gripping... provocative, chilling, imaginative..." by ScotsGay Magazine.
GOING DOWN is a dark and often comical play that explores horrific secrets and asks the question: Can we live with the wrongs we have done?
Warning: This play contains graphic descriptions of a sexual and violent nature
Reviews for GOING DOWN January 2010
"It is a deep show of strong characters who have strong emotions, interesting character interaction intercut by gripping monologues. It has a lot to say, and it deserves an audience willing to listen. There are commendable moments in this show, both funny and dramatic... The closing scenes of the play are riveting..."
Greg Fox, OxfordTheatreReview.com
"The monologues themselves are unapologetically grotesque, often sexual in nature, and the audience finds itself equally disturbed and sympathetic - disturbed, perhaps, to find itself so readily sympathizing with perverts and manipulators and murderers. The monologues are a collective example of stage writing at its best, and are delivered brilliantly by the actors."

"Acting is uniformly excellent"
