Welcome to another episode of The Last Show on Earth!

If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask.

Our guest this time around is award winning playwright and director Terry Johnson.

Terry began his theatre career as an actor before becoming a dramatist and a director and has written many very successful plays including Hysteria, Insignificance, Unsuitable for Adults, Hitchcock Blonde, Prism and Dead Funny and has directed shows such as One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Death of a Salesman, Oh What A Lovely War and Uncle Vanya. He has also worked in television and film and has won numerous awards for his work including Evening Standard Awards, Critic’s Circle Awards, several Oliviers and he even bagged a Tony for Best Director in 2010 for La Cage Aux Folles!

His Last Show choice is unexpected and truly epic...
