Caryl Churchill's THE AFTER-DINNER JOKE - starts tonight!

THE AFTER-DINNER JOKE By Caryl Churchill
The After-Dinner Joke satirises the politics of charity and the absence of charity in politics. Originally written for television and adapted for the stage, this one-act play is a political comedy centred around an idealistic young woman named Selby, as she descends into the bureaucracy and politics that shape the business of helping people. This visual spectacle explores what happens at the intersection of charity and business, asking if the politics of fund-raising and consciousness-raising can ever be truly compatible.
Directed by Leah Mercer
Performed by Simone Ruggiero, Claire Lacy, Tom Walding, Ashley MacDougall, Alex Brittan, Lincoln Dodd, Josh Magee, Emma Wilson and Samantha Zinner

Hayman Theatre Upstairs Curtin University of Technology, Kent Street Bentley
