A sketch show performed at your organisation’s
photocopier!

Gather around (groups of up to forty people) and explore the world of management and organisational life through an innovative comedy theatre performance. The trials of teamwork and confusion of communication in an organisation that might just bear some resemblance to your own.

Powerful learning and intriguing comedy are combined in this watchable and challenging piece from the producer of the acclaimed “Win,Win, Win! (“A Fine Satire” The Stage) and the recent Brighton Festival Sell-out “Re-Engineering the Cheese”.

Each sketch explores a topical issue in the workplace stimulating debate and discussion after the show, and even potentially leading to change and improvement at work.

A perfect after work or lunchtime event, the show also will be an exciting and innovative addition to a training course, conference or team event.

We’ll even use real photocopying you need doing in your organisation during the show!

The show costs Ł350 per performance with an optional workshop included on the themes raised by the performance, facilitated by Paul Levy, director of CATS3000.
(Travel expenses and VAT are not included).

For the same fee the performance can be repeated twice on the same day to accommodate larger numbers.
