PANDEMONIUM written and directed by Kristen McGorry
24th-28th November New Wimbledon Studio Theatre
"It’s cheap TV completely lacking in any educational or sociological value. Throw in wannabee models willing to do anything and mild cannibalism and we have a winner.”
Director's notes:
Nick Asten is Head of Commissioning for the world's biggest media corporation, Milton Global. Until he is passed over for promotion and decides to steall the broadcaster's biggest show. Cast down into the Post Room - the ninth level of corporate hello - he sets off on an epic journey to win his job back. But what lengths will he go to? Why is he being followed by a seven-year old child trapped in a man's body? And who is the mysterious Bub?
Pandemonium is an original, satirical musical. Borrowing from Paradise Lost, Wall Street, The Wizard of Oz and Glee, and featuring a fantastic 80s soundtrack.
