An original comedy from Pea Bien Theatre (Painting By Numbers) that swings a wrecking ball into the CROTCH of CAPITALISM and asks ‘How d’ya like them apples?’ – featuring big suits, loud ties and riotous dance routines
This is the story of one man’s pointless job. His life seems to have no impact on the world, and, with a breakdown looming, he’s starting to lose the plot. (And his hairline). What begins as a series of subtle acts of rebellion soon turns into a hysterical disregard for the job at hand – not that his boss seems to have noticed.
“We leave with our jaws aching from laughing so much.”
