TELOS is a one-act play that examines why we do what we do; exploring a sense, or rather lack, of purpose amongst the vast majority of humanity. When the man-made concept of purpose is abandoned, what are we left with? Nothing: merely ourselves and our desire to do as we please, often leading to devastating consequences.
SYNOPSIS: Four men are summoned to an underground bar late at night only a few days after their robbery of an isolated farmhouse escalates, resulting in the slaughtering of a young family. Unbeknownst to three of them, one of the children has escaped. The question stands: Who let him go?

Previous Reviews:
'Telos is a shocking and thought provoking piece that will have you questioning integrity, purpose and if anyone can truly be labeled ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Telos is in no way an easy watch. It shamelessly allows you to stew in discomfort in a way that not many pieces now have the audacity to do. It’s a must watch for anyone who isn’t afraid to see an unapologetic display of the darkest depths of humanity, and then question the value of morality.' - Audience Member
'Telos was haunting in the best way.It’s skin-crawling narrative gnaws at you, until, like the characters, you are forced to confront the dark and horrific parts of your own humanity. You’re left torn between introspection and judgment, between sympathy and repulsion. It is a must watch!' - Audience Member
'This one’s for the tormented souls.' - Audience Member
'I would say telos was exciting and daring to watch not only because of the individual characters that it explores but also what happens when those who are meant to be in dangerous tandem with each other start to get devoured by their own fears. I think it’s a very human phenomenon that was explored in a palpable way for the audience. Exciting to watch as I know the playwright and got to watch his work amplified in a different way.' - Audience Member
