Numb To The Bit

Written & Directed by Joe Goodsall

This is a play about in-jokes. It's about how people in relationships express themselves to one-another. Everyone has theirs, in every relationship, and each one is different. Robs and Cecelia have their own, in-jokes and you’re going to see them. Every single one of them. They might not be in order, and they might not make sense, but that doesn’t matter. They make sense to Rob and Cecelia.

Running time: 25 mins

Robert Krane From Chicago Illinois

Writer: Seb Flatau
Director: Mimmi Bauer

A kidnapped oil executive has all the answers.

In the 5 stages of climate grief, rage comes before acceptance.

In a conversation between a kidnapped oil executive and his captor, the spectre of violence looms in both directions.

Oil man Robert Krane has been kidnapped. To begin negotiations, he just needs to know two things: who’s got him, and how much do they want?
But his captor is working through the five stages of climate grief, where rage comes before acceptance.

This darkly surreal dialogue highlights a truth that Robert knows too well, and that his mysterious interviewer is fated to learn: bad things happen when you drill too deep.

Running Time: 20 Mins
