Five new short plays developed and supported by The Mono Box.
THE INTERVIEW
by Graeme Brookes
A panel of three interviewers are meeting with one of many applicants to see if they're 'working class enough' to obtain support from their elite organisation. In trying to offer their support, the expert panel slowly lose control with their own reality. What starts with honest intentions turns into a grotesque grilling.THE INTERVIEW is an absurd comedy written with a biting political edge that will make you laugh, wince, cringe and scream!
PAPA
by Sid Sagar
PAPA explores the troubled relationship between a father and a daughter. It questions notions of parenting, failure and masculinity, and asks whether we can ever truly overcome our past mistakes.
NSA
by Charles Entsie
NSA is about the conflict between doing what it takes to survive in the present, when also trying to secure something for your future.
LA MERDE
by Roberta Livingston
La Merde follows the journey of Chrissy, a black student who is obsessed with make-up. She aspires to be as successful as her idol Allegra Aldridge, a YouTube beauty sensation. But as she delves into the growing beast that is the YouTube world she soon discovers the cracks that are hidden within it.
GODFREY
by Aisling Towl
GODFREY is a short play set in an 'up and coming'/ gentrified South London restaurant. It follows four people; Simone, Jason, Carys and Godfrey, through one working day, honing in on the kind of seemingly mundane conversations that expose the parts of ourselves we try desperately to hide.
