Meet BEN WEAVER. A hapless anti-hero who wants to prove his worth to his Mum and get a proper job. Ben wants to be part of something bigger than himself. To have a job with progression. To get a job as a manager. And after that, one day he might get the chance to be the man who man-manages-the-managers. Fingers crossed….

But as he prepares for his interview, Ben witnesses a death. And after picking up the dead man’s lanyard and experiencing a rush of confidence, authenticity, and expanded sense of identity. Ben starts his unstoppable rise and slow transformation into BEN MANAGER.

But as the emails dry up, the backslaps intensify and the promotions keep on coming, Ben faces a stark question…. ‘What am I actually meant to be doing?’

This highly physical, modern-gothic/horror-comedy explores the changing face of modern work and the impending identity crises we face as a society searching for purpose and coming to terms with ‘the end of work’.

Featuring original live scored music and stupid songs, The Unstoppable Rise of Ben Manager will leave you laughing, crying, wincing and searching for a new job.
