It's the end of the world, and humanity is on the verge of self-destruction as nuclear war erupts. Faced with imminent destruction friends Tom and Suze unite for one last passionate moment, except they don't die, which makes things a little uncomfortable the next day. Eight years on, they are stuck with each other and wander the post-apocalyptic landscape that used to be England with Laura, their daughter from that fateful night. Along their travels they meet clusters of survivors trying to decide which bits of civilisation to reintroduce to their new world. Hilarious, touching and totally original, Cockroaches asks what it means to be human, and its answer is seriously funny.
