David Lynch meets Wes Anderson in this absurd, hilarious and incisive take on the hamster-wheel hellscape of sales work – from BRILLIG Theatre
Memorial Day weekend. The US-of-A. The motley, motor-mouthed sales team at Terry’s Cars & Automobiles has just four days to hit their monthly target. With their salaries and sanity on the line, they must shift 66 cars by Monday or face the wrath of their overlord boss, Terry.
With clowning, physical theatre, and original music, Terry’s “turns marketing jargon into a hilarious and horrifying poetry” (The Scotsman), in a fast-paced, darkly comic look at capitalist culture’s pressure to sell, sell, sell. Expect superheroes, pop-rock ballads, the D-Day landings and one very special balloon.
There’s no guarantee the team will make the target, but you’re bound to have the ride of your life…
“Sharply directed and punchily performed.”
★★★★ The Scotsman
“A hilarious, impressive, satirical, surrealist hoot!”
★★★★★ The Quintessential Review
★★★★ Broadway Baby
