“THE DOOR STAYS LOCKED UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE. THAT’S OUR RULE, THAT’S THE GAME WE PLAY. RIGHT NOW WE’VE REACHED THE POINT IN THE JOB, IN THE GAME, WHERE SOMEONE HAS TO DIE.”

 

Marcus and Sarah work for a startup, a very specific kind of start-up.

 

They don’t sell gluten-free, locally-sourced, coconut water and they don’t work in a shared office. What they do is feed a need; they bring us meaning and dispense with the tools of an old, dying, world. Welcome to their world, don’t deny your place in it . . . Like, comment, subscribe!

 

Marcus is the poster boy for the company, hand-picked by management for his commitment to the cause. Sarah has moved up from Brand Recognition. Media personality Tony is their newest project - he just doesn’t know it yet.

 

Today, Justice isn’t blind, it’s streamed to millions.

 

 

Dissident Theatre invite you to the inaugural presentation of Snowflakes, a new piece written by Robert Boulton, directed by Mike Cottrell and brought to life by the company. Dissident Theatre was founded at the end of 2018 with the goal of making theatre which confronts the base, the repressed and the ambiguous corners of the world we live in.

Snowflakes is a sci-fi black comedy exploring questions of morality, revenge and justice with gleeful, violent, abandon. It asks; how far would you go to right a wrong?

 

“THE NEW GAME IS CALLED “IF YOU DON’T ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS, POLITELY, I’M GOING TO HURT YOU.” PATENT PENDING. I LIKE THIS GAME, I HOPE YOU’LL ENJOY IT TOO.”
