Happy To Help is a darkly funny new play at the Park Theatre about what really goes on within the supermarket industry – and how deeply it impacts upon all of our lives.
When the managing director of UK supermarket chain Frisca agrees a last-minute return to the shop floor in disguise to undertake the duties of a shelf-stacker, he dreams only of the potential PR benefits such a move will bring.
But he has a tragic past, and masqueraded by long-lasting facades of ruthless ambition and wholehearted commitment, the experience ultimately proves more than he bargained for.
Exploring the immense power of supermarkets and their resultant impact on the human lives connected to them, Happy To Help delves into the gargantuan power behind the industry and how its ability to monopolise has changed the face of the British high street.
