But wait. Is this a performance, or a hazard?
How far should we go to eliminate risk? The cross departmental Tsar insists on box-ticking, risk-assessing and safe-guarding, desperately trying to create a 'safe' environment. What must we sacrifice? The voices of those we are trying to protect?
A satirical piece of theatre that is at once affecting, exasperating and hilarious.
SAFE with tour to London venues between 12 October - 4 November. Click here for details.
Performed in May 2010 to sell-out audiences at the Wandsworth Arts Festival, SAFE follows a theatre group as they stage a play. Or at least attempt to. An interruption from a health and safety officer begins the demise of the performance, leading to an absurd and comical spiral for both actors and audience.
