About this show
A couple awaits a real estate agent to visit their historic but decayed apartment. A mould stain appears on the ceiling, revealing an unstoppable leak. A man is then called in to fix the ceiling but abruptly disappears. The stain grows larger and the leak does not stop, uncovering the past buried within building's walls. The last drop is always closer than we think. Nominated for Brazil's 2024 Shell Award for Best Playwriting. The show is part of São Paulo Showcase.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 4 published reviews and 16 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
A black domestic comedy which adds some hilariously unerotic marital foreplay to the mix, it gives a sense of individual lives adrift in the social system.
— The Guardian (3 out of 5 stars)
I am aware that this play will not be everybody’s cup of tea, but for folks that enjoy their theatre beautifully crafted, slightly off the wall, and not always entirely simple to understand, you will love it.
— The Phoenix Remix (5 out of 5 stars)
In The Last Drop, by Dante Passarelli, a couple, Cynthia (Fernanda Zancopé) and Gilberto (Ernani Sanchez), stand on the linoleum.
