THE LUNCH HOUR
THE LUNCH HOUR by Chris Aronsten
Darlinghurst Theatre - September 7th - October 7th, 2012
THE LUNCH HOUR is Chris Aronsten's full-length follow up to HUMAN RESOURCES and is every bit as ambitious, dark and hilarious. This dark contemporary comedy is about what we all do to get through the day - the distractions we create and the games that we play. We recognise that sometimes the hardest part about starting or finishing anything in life is being ready. …
SIX STRUGGLING ARTISTS
ONE CALL CENTRE.....

“This script is overtly innovative, multi-layered, jagged and crunched… not surprisingly Gaul's direction is confidant and thorough, and in this instance the action is very pacey and emotions high-pitched with an energetic and energised cast…it's a fun, smart, edgy…Indie gig”. James Waites
“THE LUNCH HOUR by Chris Aronsten is a wildly ambitious play. It begins as pell mell farce with characters, initially perceived as possible satiric types that move into the second act of the work to a dark psychological critique of a most challenging kind, to finally launch into one of the bleakest music theatre climaxes that I have seen since the last production of Stephen Sondheim's ASSASSINS”
