What would you do if you had three weeks to live?Get drunk? Have sex? Make amends with your estranged family?18 Victoria is the story of three siblings grappling to piece together their broken relationship against a very real deadline: a huge meteor, 18 Victoria, is about to crash into Earth and no one will survive.As they come to terms with family trauma and their impending deaths, the characters confide in the audience, prompting them to question their own values and behaviour.Like many families, this one contains secrets, including one that threatens to tear them apart. Can they trust each other enough to make amends before it's too late?18 Victoria has been specially adapted by Huddersfield-based Root & Branch from an original script by American playwright Cody Daigle-Orians to be set in the North of England.It received its European premiere at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield in April 2018 before playing as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe in July, where it won the Write For The Stage Award and was nominated for Best Drama."18 Victoria is an emotionally demanding play but certainly rewards any audience prepared to take the journey."
