Katie and Roni were best friends, until they weren't.
Now Katie’s brother is dead, and the two girls unexpectedly find themselves together again – in his bedroom.
Tonight they’re going to tell each other the truth.
Because the truth will set you free – won’t it?
A claustrophobic, unexpectedly funny new play about friendship, lies and the things we can’t say to the people we need most.
1.17am, or until the words run out premiered at Finborough Theatre
from 10 February to 7 March 2026.

Theatre and Art Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Something has been detonated in Zoe Hunter Gordon’s cleverly constructed play...directed with metronomic precision by Sarah Stacey."
The Stage

‘Creates an emotionally intense and visibly painful tension...
Catherine Ashdown and Eileen Duffy are phenomenal.'

Adventures in Theatreland
⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘This is a beautiful piece of theatre - intimate, thoughtful, and deeply moving.
It poses questions that linger long after the curtain falls.’
All That Dazzles
⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘A powerful watch, and its strength lies in its simplicity: one room, two people,
and the unbearable weight of what has been left unsaid.’
Beyond the Curtain
⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘A cracking debut that picks you up and never lets go.’
‘Highly Recommended Show’
FringeReview
⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Sharp, touching and refreshingly contemporary, this is a really fine addition
to the roster of new writing currently on the London stage.’
