The Vitruvian Theatre Company’s Brighton Fringe debut!
A hospital waiting room - everyone’s favourite place to spend an evening.
A woman faces an impossible choice between life and death. A father and son reach for each other but miss every time. A daughter split open by grief, longing for it to end. A young nurse stretched past breaking point. A man, drunk, loud, and impossible to ignore. All different. All waiting.
Over the course of a single night, ‘The Coffee Machine is Broken’ explores the fragile connections people cling to when everything feels uncertain. Lives hang in the balance, strangers collide, and love is tested in all its messiest forms.
Conversations overlap, inner thoughts spill out, and moments of connection appear where you least expect them. Tender and darkly funny, this play captures the raw, human moments that exist between life and death, when all you can do is wait.
Running time: 60min
Suitable for Age 14+
Warnings: Mild Swearing, themes of death, harassment and self-harm are explored in this play, although not depicted on stage.
