Gasping
from 30th June – 2nd July 2005
Directed by Jason Breed
Director's Introduction
The first play written by the popular author of Popcorn, Gasping is a brilliantly funny satire on big business, the media, and product exploitation.
Lockheart Industries is making serious money but Sir Chiffley Lockheart needs the buzz that finding a way to make money where none has existed before gives him. Philip, a pushy workaholic executive, suggests selling designer air. Perrier for the nostrils becomes the marketing phenomenon of the decades and millions are quickly made. People start hoarding for a rainy day and oxygen supplies run low. The world starts gasping and only the biggest suckers survive.
