Directed by Scott Yarbrough
Featuring Kelly Godell, Diane Kondrat, & Chris Murray
A wickedly comic satire by groundbreaking British playwright Philip Ridley about consumerism in the age where enough is never enough. A young couple, Jill and Ollie, sign a contract for their dream home at seemingly no cost. With a baby on the way, they are forced to find out how far they’ll go to get everything they’ve ever dreamed of… and more.
