“It means a lot to us that you’ve decided to come and listen to us

Instead of staying in and watching TV

Or going to the pub

Or any of the other things you could have done tonight

We realise that many of you will have had to make special arrangements

Orgainsing babysitters and so on

And that’ll probably have meant a certain financial outlay

Beyond just the cost of your ticket

Anyway that shows real commitment to supporting what we’re tryna do here

Thank you.”

This Is Not A Life was a ground-breaking new theatre work. Dealing with issues we consider important and, not least, what constitutes a good night out at the theatre. All you had to do was buy a ticket and show up. After that, well, it was up to you.

This Is A Life is a fable about terror, a dream about happiness, a dark comedy about idealism.
