About this show
Strangers, eight hours, one connection they can't quite explain. Eight hours follows two queer women through the only eight hours they'll ever spend together, it might mean everything – or nothing at all. As the night unfolds, they navigate tension, vulnerability and the question of what if. Upon their first meeting, a fantasy is created between them but when morning comes they are to never see each other again. Is eight hours long enough to fall in love?
