A spectacular, seering and sexy new Australian comedy

The Lunch Hour is set in a box-office call centre. A bunch of would-be artists are secretly writing a play about Martin, their boss - and nemesis - in the hope of winning a playwriting competition. But Martin has penned his own play about his dysfunctional staff and their thwarted lives, which he leaves it on their desks as a parting gift and wake up call.

The Lunch Hour is all about what we all do to get through the day - the games we play, the distractions we create and the pain of failure. We see ourselves in these characters and recognise sometimes the hardest part about starting or finishing anything in life is being ready.

Chris Aronsten's follow up to Human Resources, previously staged at Darlinghurst Theatre, is every bit as ambitious, dark and hilarious.

"Kudos to writer Chris Aronsten for his colourful linguistics, wonderfully horrible tensions and for rich stories that both entertain and make us think." - Sarah Doyle, State of the Arts
