Synopsis

This is a play for 2 men, 1 woman and a chair. A man sits on a chair. A woman enters. She wants to sit down. But the man isn’t ready to give up his seat just yet. Besides, where would he sit? The woman says there’s no chairs left in the world, and she’s exhausted. The man is still reluctant. The woman begs. The man thinks of a way round. The woman thinks too. Just as a compromise seems to be reached, another man enters with another chair and it seems all is solved. But the problems are really only just starting… An absurd, surreal and easy to stage stand up comedy about sitting down.
