Savagely funny with a dark narrative running through it. The play is told backwards and we see the unravelling of the main characters Jess and David in reverse order. It's a world of easy credit and designer goods – What could possibly go wrong?
Jess is feeling alone and seems unable to fill the void except by shopping. She loves David and believes that if she has a job and a house and the right shoes then happiness can be bought – but at what price?
David wants to buy a car he can’t afford because he thinks he deserves it and conducts an illicit office romance by email. He has love at his fingertips but a shocking admission unravels his relationship piece by piece.
A clash between materialism and idealism.
Hope vs the horror of spiralling debts. Told with shocking and irreverent humour.

A multimedia production.
