As We Know It Comes to the egg Theatre for Elevate 2024 Festival

Brand new theatre company smashing its first year with local audiences


Hazy Elephant Theatre might have only formed just this year, but it’s been a busy one for them.

Their production As We Know It, has already had sold-out runs at the Alma Tavern Theatre.

Now it’s in Bath for the Elevate 2024 Festival that runs this September.

As We Know It, follows four teenagers – Charlie, Georgia, Abi and their weed dealer Gucci – whilst waiting for their final night on earth to end.

It’s described as both ‘dark’ and ‘humorous’ touching upon important issues for young people without feeling ‘preachy’.

It epitomises how Gen Z would handle the end of the world.

Writer and director Paige Farnham explains: “What really matters to you? I feel in life – myself included – can become so distracted by the mundane and every day tasks, that we forget to look at the bigger picture or not.

“Whether the asteroid is coming or not, we know eventually our experience will end so, when that time comes, have you cherished those who were there for your? Have you gotten that random tattoo? Have you lived life authentically as yourself?”

As We Know It will be on at the egg at the Theatre Royal Bath on Tuesday 03 September 2024
