I Hate It Here

A game show. A nurse. A chicken shop. Dolly Parton. A golden umbrella. Making it rain. Quite a lot of hopping. Some bingo. Zero hours contracts. You better work bitch.I Hate it Here is an interactive devised piece about zero hours contracts and instability. It centres on Plang, an elderly care worker who loves a boogie, Tara, a nurse with a penchant for Anne Robinson, and Spud, a teenage fast-food worker who would just love a date with fit Clare. Join them for their shift but expect some interruptions from the BIG BOSS.
You will be asked to participate in game shows, sign up for shifts and have the chance to WIN BIG  at BINGO. All of this could be yours if you just sign here.
