5 Pigeons Pecking a Bin Bag: Hello, Box Office
Multiple dates and times
The Greenhouse Theatre @ Canary Wharf, Jubilee Park, E14 5JP
Description
Picture this: a dystopian, not-too-distant future where Andrew Lloyd Webber has sole power and responsibility for investing in the UK theatre industry. Fringe theatre venues are dying out and everyone is fighting for funding.
Hello, Box Office is a brand new devised play which critiques the state of an underfunded UK arts landscape at breaking point. Three competing theatre box offices are reeling from the outcome of the latest funding cuts. Follow the people living and working in the theatre industry who are affected by these drastic cuts and watch in horror as they fight for ticket stock, pens and the rights to the latest big hit show. Can these theatres and their employees survive, or will they have to close their doors forever?
Hello, Box Office blends clowning, physical comedy and absurdist theatre. The show explores themes of stagnation, disappointment and burnout in the theatre industry.
