WORK.TXT

This is a show about work.

But the worker isn’t here, so it’s down to you.

You’ll clock in at the beginning.

You’ll get short breaks at regular intervals.

You’ll work in a team, and under your own initiative.

You will be your own boss. You will be free.

work.txt is a play performed entirely by the audience. It is a 60-minute show designed to be flexible for audiences from 50-300 people. It explores themes of contemporary work, automation, and always-on working culture. The story is about a person in a city somewhere who has stopped working, and the story is an attempt by the audience to work together to figure out why.
