The Interview

    Brutally honest and so damn funny. It hits all the right notes about ageism in the workplace and how so many companies look for ways to let you go if they can or use you up till you only option is to quit or retire. It's gotten better in a lot places, but there's still so many 2 inch dicks out there in the world ready to pounce on the unsuspecting.

    Oh the brutal honesty of this job interview is brutally funny! It would be so much fun to perform and indeed to watch these two performers attempt to hold it together whilst delivering their lines as strait and formal as possible! There are some wonderful lines in this, many in fact, every line is perfectly honest. Wonderful!

    What a delicious satire on the hellscape that is the job interview. The rhythms of these encounters are captured perfectly, but the spoken subtext is hilarious.
