'Hope? Hope, is that you?'
Years and years ago, Hope disappeared. Now, she's back. To find something she left behind.
But in the People's Republic of Koka Kola – a world of dwindling resources, corruption and corporate giants – what happens to Hope?
A surreal and frenetic quest through a hyper-capitalist country, Tom Fowler's play Hope has a Happy Meal premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in June 2023, directed by Lucy Morrison, in a co-production with SISTER.
'A theatrical spectacle... Fowler's writing zips off the page'
* WhatsOnStage *'A poignant, offbeat satire that unfolds with the daft, disjointed logic of a dream, full of sudden, unlikely plot twists and surreal asides'
* The Stage *'Tom Fowler is a writer with a knack for comedy... Hope Has a Happy Meal is part Thelma and Louise, part reverse-Wizard of Oz, balancing wit and nightmares'
* Guardian *'A surreal pleasure... Fowler's writing has an instantly appealing brightness and energy... a humorously lurid vision, with powerfully articulated emotions'
* Arts Desk *'A surreal, engrossing satire on a world where big brands own everything... Fowler's playfully dark humour hits the spot'
* Time Out *'Funny, exciting and well-written'
* Reviews Hub *'Sparks with peppery wit, with an unapologetically sui generis sense of surreal black humour and plenty of humanity'
