When life offers you a choice between heroism and compromise - what happens? Sometimes planes don't land the way they're supposed to. The people of a country have had enough of their leaders, but those leaders have to be replaced with something. A person steps out of a crowd and, for a moment, becomes more than human. A man walks into the lobby of a building and brings death with him to prove his point.

There Has Possibly Been An Incident is the new play from award-winning British playwright & performer, Chris Thorpe.

Reviews
Utterly compelling. It gnaws at our ideas of heroism and compromise, individual and collective action, and those small acts of choosing and not choosing that either pass unnoticed or send ripples around the world. * Four stars - Lyn Gardner, Guardian *
From electrifying writing and performances to serious ethical confrontation in one hour. There Has Possibly Been An Incident is both profoundly satisfying and deeply unsettling at once. * What's On Stage **** *
