Comfort Zone

The Arts Minister's coming & the media's on their way, but there's not enough balloons for the launch of next year's theatre season! In the upstairs office of a small inner city theatre an ugly battle for ultimate power is in full swing. The Artistic Director, the Yes-man, the writer & God forbid, even the cleaning lady are slamming doors & opening windows in this fast paced, action-packed tour de farce that takes a knife to this incestuous theatre industry. Comfort Zone tells the story of a woman with more power than she deserves, whose lost touch with the reality of the industry she claims to have single-handedly created. Deirdre James is a protagonist clinging to the last bastion of power (let alone integrity) & in between programming her friend's work & shagging the Art's Minister's PA, she flaunts herself with an air of superiority wrapped round a Greenroom Award.
