After twenty years of teaching high school science, Michael Falls in love with Noa, his former student and current neighbor, who is in love with Zohar - a charismatic network star who promotes the flat world theory with enormous success.
Inspired by an encounter with Galileo's ghost, Michael decides to go with Noa on a journey to the end of the world, and Zohar decides to pursue a political career, to be appointed Minister of Science, and to prove to the world that the sky is the limit, and we are the center of the universe.

"A show that can be showered with superlatives, but to summarize, in one word: enchanting. It's not just the what, but mainly the how, that gives "Work Group" productions their edge, and this time too, the ensemble succeeded in creating a fantasy that resonates with humor and the whims of grace, human weaknesses and quirks, moods and trends, and stretches them to the limit. "

"Not the End of the World is a fun, smart play, with excellent acting, good theater, and a timeless text" Hadar Abarbanel, Martha Knows
"Good story, excellent and fascinating ideas, a twisty plot, excellent acting" Aviva Rosen, Biluy Naim

"Mayan Blum, an actor who never ceases to surprise, is a gray science teacher, a clumsy and stuttering man, insecure and at the same time brave enough to say what he wants, purposeful and determined. It is his physicality, but especially the intelligence with which he routes the character's path, between the concrete and the absurd, that makes this role captivating. Mayan Kilchevsky, in the role of Noa, builds a well-characterized character who could easily have scattered but is gathered from all the fragments of neuroses, psychoses and anxieties into a young girl of the lost breed that surrounds us. She knows what she is doing on stage and why, and Noa, confused, suicidal and divided, flows from her naturally and effortlessly." Merav Yudilovich, The Stage
"Galileo Galilei is played by Abraham Selectar, doing a great job as the only character in the play who is loyal to the truth, the real truth, not the one we feel in our hearts. Indeed, the entire essence of the play is based on the differences between the different truths. The villain played by Tamir Ginzburg, who also gives an excellent performance and manages to let us inside the head of a skilled conman, provong how easy it is, to control the narrative of the reality in which we live." Aspir Ayyubov, Maariv
