An artist, a scientist and a hippy are in a room. The door is locked. They don’t know how they got there or how to get out. Add a cockroach, a pile of junk and Schrodinger’s Cat; then sit back and watch the sparks fly.

When a billionaire joins them, the thin veneer of civil society is peeled back and the atmosphere becomes even more explosive!

This absurdist comedy is a darkly humorous clash between science and art; big business and spirituality. Can they get out of the room? Can they work out what is real?

Where’s that cat – is it alive or dead? And can anyone tell the difference?

“It’s only when you have certainty, that you’ll realise you never needed it in the first place.”
