Produktbeschreibung

What money?! This ends when you end. This experiment is about the survival of the fittest. Nothing more - nothing less.

Imprisoned in an abandoned warehouse, a desperate group of failing actors are trapped in a dark experiment. After months of endlessly rehearsing George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion with no director to guide them, some of the ensemble have disappeared leaving the others paranoid and subservient. Sleep-deprived and half-starved, their fragile social bonds shatter and implode as a stranger breaks in and incites them to rebel. This new dystopian thriller about a group of aspiring actors trapped in a dark social experiment is a collaboration from writers Martin Travers and Chloe Wyper.

This edition was published to coincide with the run presented by the Citizens Theatre's WAC Ensemble in April 2022.
