Description
Sometimes when Im at work and waiting for customers I think about the two of us living like kings and not bothering about the future. Because there may not be any future to bother about, you know. Not for anybody, one of these days. And its a wicked world.Average couple Janet and Howards lives begin to unravel when Howards photographic memory helps win him a gameshow fortune. Janet doesnt want their lives to change that much. Shes quite happy working at the supermarket, cooking for her husband three times a day and watching quiz shows in the evening. But once Howard unleashes his photographic brain on the world, the once modest used-car salesman cant seem to stop. And what he sees as the logical conclusion to his success isnt something Janet can agree to. Burgesss 1961 darkly comic satire of drab English consumerism is adapted for the stage by Lucia Cox. This edition was published to coincide with the US premiere at the Brits Off-Broadway Festival, at 59E59 Theatre, New York, in May 2015.
