Henry has his problems, but I just can't see him killing people. Especially if they weren't management.

Welcome to The End of Civilization, the grimly comic tale of a man, his wife and their world as it falls apart around them.

The victims of downsizing, Henry and Lily book into a seedy motel and make a last-ditch attempt to find work. Before long, Henry’s fellow job hunters are checking out on dirt holidays, and just who is planting the bombs at those factories?

Max and Donny, two emotionally unbalanced detectives, take on the case as Lily befriends Sandy, the friendly prostitute next-door... The human blowback of corporate profiteering heralds the end of civilization in the Act-O-Matic 3000’s (The Laramie Project - Green Room Award winner Best Independent Production, The Return, bash) gripping Australian premiere which asks you, how low can you go?

with Ron Kofler, Barry Mitchell, Kate Bowers, Dan Walls and Nadia Nassif
