Mark Ravenhill’s acclaimed one man show PRODUCT returns to the Royal Court for a strictly limited run as part of its international tour.
‘I love your work, I love it. I’ve seen you do those turns on a sixpence…. You’re fabulous. And this material is going to be fabulous once its punched up.’
Olivia is a hot young starlet ; all she needs is the script to save her from B movie hell. James thinks he’s got the perfect pitch, a script which combines a torrid love story with the dark spectre of terrorism and big, big explosions. If only he can persuade Olivia, he’s got the perfect Product.
“Ravenhill’s brilliantly poisonous satire is up-to-date, demonstrating a mastery of slick cultural references and the flaky-glamorous language of product placement“ Sunday Times
“Good old Mark Ravenhill … jauntily blasting away at the pretensions of the fast-growing industry in post-9/11 schlock” Telegraph
Mark Ravenhill’s previous plays include Shopping and Fucking, Faust Is Dead, Handbag, Some Explicit Polaroids, Mother Claps Molly House and The Cut. This is his professional acting debut.
