How To Disappear Completely and Never Be Found

“What makes you who you are? A name? An address? A random collection of experiences, a few memories? You are who you can prove you are. You are what people think and that’s the easiest thing in the world to change.”

When a young executive reaches breaking point and decides to disappear, he pays a visit to a master of the craft in a seafront fortune teller in Southend.

Haunted by visitations from a pathologist who swears he is already lying flat out on her slab, he begins a nightmarish journey to the edge of existence that sees him stripped of everything that made him who he was.

This extraordinary new play follows one man’s desperate attempts to buck the system, and asks what really makes us who we are in the 21st century.

How To Disappear Completely & Never Be Found is the winner of the 38th Arts Council John Whiting Award for New Theatre Writing.
