Description:
A dark and unrelenting comedy about starving for your art. As negotiations with employers, agents and Universal Credit crumble, one actor drags you into a brutal and absurd takedown of the UK benefit system, the Cost of Living Crisis, and whether we value the art more than the people who make it. They'll go down swinging, but they will go down – maybe making a play about food poverty is the only way out of it? After all, closed mouths don't get fed. Winner of the Shedload-of-Future Fund 2026. 'Impeccably written... a completely captivating performer' (Liv Ello, Body Show).
