Algiers, 1930. Albert Camus, philosopher, novelist, playwright, journalist, future Nobel Prize winner and current goalkeeper is about to play the football match of his life… the game that would be his last. Before Albert Camus was causing existential crises, he was saving goals. Step inside the mind of one of the world’s greatest thinkers as he plays the final game of his career before succumbing to ill-health. As he stands in goal, he falls into the grip of a fever dream and is assailed by the greatest minds - Hegel, Aristotle, Kierkegaard - all offering advice on the biggest questions: what is the meaning of life? Does God exist? And what is the offside rule? Written by Paul Sirett Cast: Albert Camus... Arthur Darvill Amandine ...Cecelia Appiah.
