About
Centuries apart, the residents of a towering high-rise arrive at a crossroads, taking shelter along the riverbank in Greenwich – the place where time begins and the world ends.
In the near present, a biomedical emergency drives a young couple to confront their own complicity in the face of impending catastrophe.
Four hundred years from now, those who remain celebrate their survival, while long buried truths threaten to unravel their carefully constructed way of life.
As the tides rise and the power fails, two timelines converge in a single flat, where yesterday’s mistakes become tomorrow’s reckonings.
A darkly funny new musical with a thrilling electro-folk score, Precipice is a story of crisis, humanity, and hope at the edge of disaster.
Precipice is the debut show from Timelapse, created collaboratively by Stu Barter (Talkshow), Rachel Bellman (These Demons), Darren Clark (Olivier winner for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Annabelle Lee Revak (Windsong), Shaye Poulton Richards (Lies All The Way Down), and Timelapse Artistic Director Adam Lenson (Cable Street).

Company
Timelapse is a new artist-led theatre company that makes innovative and exhilarating music theatre inspired by Identity, Technology and Catastrophe. Founded by Adam Lenson and Lia Buddle, the company create shows that unpack big ideas with humanity and empathy while creating technically integrated experiences that are accessible, energising and mind-altering. Now more than ever there is an opportunity to combine the popularity and urgency of contemporary new writing with music that is modern, individual, and vibrant. Their mission is to create work which values the breadth and possibility of music and stories; it is built upon the tradition and craft of musical theatre but expanded to include a broader sonic landscape and influenced by the bold storytelling of the most audacious stage and television writers.
