But today, sitting in the street with those protesters - even when I got shoved around - I felt alive. I felt strong. Like I could tear my way out of this nightmare we see every night on the news. War. Pandemics. Food insecurity. The energy crisis. The collapse of healthcare. Strikes. And on top of that, a government that's either completely clueless or completely corrupt... and that's just the stuff we know is real. Who the hell knows anymore, in this era of spin and lies?
Anthea is out of work and at the end of her tether. Jack, her socialist husband, does everything by the book. When Anthea gets caught up in a spontaneous supermarket uprising, she fills her bags full of food. But how to keep them hidden from the Police and her husband? Part farce, part protest, this sharp and timely comedy explores Capitalism and economic survival with wild humor and a lot of heart. Directed by Bradley Wrenn, as part of our Producing Artists Laboratory, They Don’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! brings riotous laughter to a situation that feels all too close to home.
