Created by Cabaret star Ursula Martinez and Radio 4 comedian Christopher Green, Office Party is set in the function rooms of a sad and tawdry office block where a group of colleagues are preparing for the annual shindig. The managing director is running through the gags for his speech while having a few too many drinks, and the marketing department is in a huddle by the bar.
As the night unfolds, the audience is invited to become the employees of this fictitious company, becoming complicit in the goings-on at this slightly shambolic, riotous annual party. Divided into staff teams, rivalries and tensions come to the fore in hilarious fashion.
Incorporating office politics and sharp insights into the world of the workplace, Office Party is theatre at its most experimental.
Office Party is held at the head office of Product Solutions, next to the Pleasance theatre in Islington. Tickets can be booked through the Pleasance theatre box office.
