  • Directed by: Claire Hooper

  • Dramaturg: Jane Bodie

From the mind of a part-time horror writer and full time attention seeker, 'Boredroom' is a storytelling stand up thriller about odd jobs, office kitchens, landline phones, and Monte Carlos.

It’s London 2012. Isolated in a basement kitchen in an otherwise abandoned office building, Nicolette is working as a temp. The job? To plate up biscuits and wait by the phone for an invitation to deliver them to the boardroom. In her time at this job, she’ll never see another living person. Any questions?

This project received Cash to Create through the Fringe Fund.
