How It Ended is a tender and tragic exploration of marriage in an era of uncompromising expectations.
Staged in the round with live music, the cast play with traditional storytelling techniques to explore a true story of cultural alienation and loneliness. The focus shifts from Wales during the Second World War to France in the immediate aftermath of liberation, keeping at its centre the fierce fading of a wartime romance.
A hauntingly intimate story of love in decline.
Devised by the cast. Conceived and directed by Emily Watson Howes.
How It Ended had a sell out run at the Camden People's Theatre in January '08, then again at the Edinburgh Festival in August '08. It later received a sell-out run at the Arcola Theatre from 23rd February to 17th March '09, and toured the UK in Autumn 2009.
