a darkly funny take on corporate culture
When the system is built to break you, what’s left to hold onto?
Do Not Pass Go is an oddly tender dark comedy set amid the soul-sucking grind of modern corporate culture — from one of the most exciting voices in contemporary theatre, Jean Tong.
Flux and Penny are colleagues whiling away their lives in the nondescript purgatory of a job no-one can explain, in a system neither of them truly believes in. Clocked on, but gradually checking out. As their conversations drift from work into politics, personal lives and whether any of it still matters, their hot takes cool into something closer to connection.
