UNSUPERVISED ADULTING is a ferocious physical theatre comedy about a dreary working week. Suitable for ages 12+, this athletic production, performed by West of Scotland’s finest young talents is an hour’s jaunt navigating adult responsibility, whilst holding on to childlike play. Set in a standard temp office – where no one knows exactly what all this paperwork is for – two long-suffering employees and their less-than-capable team leader continue the daily trudge until the new start walks in, determined to shake up the system. With intricate complex choreography (literally dancing on the tables), object manipulation of office supplies into anything imaginations can dream and whole lot of heart – UNSUPERVISED ADULTING is about how joy can be found if you just look hard enough. This production is for everyone who stopped playing at a certain age and longs to do it more.
