Monday, 9am. Welcome to Last Resort Incorporated! Robin is the newest employee in the office and they’re not sure what’s worse: dealing with the broken printer or their eccentric co-workers. There’s a buzz in the air as Jones’ retirement party grows near... or maybe that’s the sound of flies circling the leftover lasagne. It’s almost time for the employees at Last Resort Inc to reap what they’ve sown or continue to look the other way. A show about capitalism, the stages of grief, and what it takes to break the cycle.

About the show

Inksplat Theatre Company presents What's Rotting in the Office Fridge?, a dark comedy performed at Space 2. Set on a Monday morning at Last Resort Incorporated, the show follows Robin, the newest employee, as they navigate eccentric colleagues, a broken printer, and the looming occasion of Jones's retirement party. Beneath the workplace farce lies a show about capitalism, the stages of grief, and whether it is possible to break a damaging cycle. The show runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for ages 16 and over, with warnings for distressing themes and strong language.

Why see this show?

Workplace comedy with something uncomfortable underneath — the flies around that leftover lasagne are doing a lot of work. A timely show about the rhythms of office life and what happens when you can no longer look the other way.
