Severance Play is a black comedy about office politics, romance, sales, lies, sex, addiction and maybe a little murder. A fast-paced crisis-driven peek into the workplace of a small chemical company presented with severe challenges both on and below the emotionally charged surface. As brutally clever as it is relentless; written like a piece of music with ebbs, flows, crescendos…“dialogue was genius – reminded me of Mamet in its authenticity (but with much more humor and less misogyny!) And staging it in the round gave it just the right sense of tension and urgency.”
