The cult Korean rock musical The Last Man comes to Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 8 May to 13 June 2026 – a gripping, immersive story of survival, isolation and what it means to remain human.

A mysterious virus spreads across the globe. Cities fall silent. The undead roam.

Book The Last Man tickets for this English-language premiere, as audiences are invited deep inside bunker B-103 for an intimate and psychologically charged theatrical experience.

What is The Last Man about?

Armed with supplies to last a year, one survivor locks themselves inside bunker B-103 to wait out the collapse of civilisation.

But as the days stretch on, isolation begins to distort reality. The bunker becomes both sanctuary and prison. Time fractures. Memories resurface. Survival itself begins to feel dangerous.

Now they must decide: is survival enough — or should the bunker door be opened?

The Last Man unfolds as a one-person musical blending live rock performance, psychological thriller and video diary, driven by immersive sound design, dark humour and mounting tension.
