When Prophecy Fails
** This event has been moved from Paisley Town Hall to Paisley Arts Centre**
In a small town in the American Midwest, the disciples of a suburban housewife are convinced that the world is ending. Discover the true story of the world’s first UFO doomsday cult, which led to a ground breaking 1950s study into the concept of cognitive dissonance. Award-winning Scottish ensemble Groupwork combines astonishing visuals with hypnotic movement to create a timely performance investigating what happens when cold, hard facts meet the chaotic power of belief.
Fresh from its sold-out run at the Edinburgh International Festival, When Prophecy Fails comes to Paisley, offering a rare chance to experience world-class international theatre on your doorstep.
