The Office collides with Monty Python in Death and Downsizing, a liquorice dark farce about modern corporate life where skulduggery, deception and greed are not just commonplace, theyÂ’re best practice.

Grab a ringside seat as Domination Oil Refinery Corporation (DORC) attempts to fend off shareholder attacks, cover up an accidental death and divert media attention from an environmental catastrophe – all while promoting their new company underpants policy.

From the writer/producer of last yearÂ’s Fringe sell-out hit, Sakura Mansions, Death and Downsizing questions the value of office jobs, the idea of job satisfaction and whether having an important job in fact makes you important.

In the heart of the CBD, director Paul Canlan turns the Croft Institute into a hot bed of corporate culture teeming with psychos in suits, passionate PR chicks, PAs with military precision and battle-worn journalists.

For anyone who’s ever had to play buzzword bingo, endure death by powerpoint presentation or just wants to tell their boss to shove their ‘value proposition’ up their broad-based strategy!

Starring Ian Rooney, Marnie Gibson, Glen Hancox, Jacqui Curry, Cameron Box and Lou Endicott.
