Gasping

Ben Elton's debut play - performed at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London, starring Hugh Laurie, Bernard Hill, and Simon Mattocks.

A satire on big business, the media and product exploitation. Designer air proves to be the marketing phenomenon of the decade, but as demand outstrips supply, Lockheart Industries plunders the Third World for resources. The world is starting to gasp, and only the biggest suckers survive.
