The Postcode Lottery

Bear-Faced Liars • Semi-professional company

55 minutes•The Vault
Dystopia or utopia? You decide. This episodic play follows the consequences of power and desire in modern day Britain. It starts at the top and trickles down, each player a servant and master, with no care who is beneath them. A spa, a salon, a hairdressers' and a bedroom. Six people climbing the social ladder and stepping on fingers as they go. If you wanted something, what would you do, who would you hurt, to get it?
