The Lunch Punch Power Hour in Conference Room 4

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Caitríona Daly 

  • Synopsis

    In the Irish offices of a corporate firm, three employees use their lunch hour to determine how best to spend their company’s annual Corporate Social Responsibility budget. Behind a locked door and out of sight of management, the task escalates into an increasingly outlandish and hilarious debate, revealing secret passions and uncomfortable truths. A bizarre and humorous exploration of power structures, escapism and resistance.
