A dark and absurdist dive into the depths of modern activism and the hypocrite in all of us, Eating Jeff follows four disillusioned employees of a megacorporation as their dull team bonding games descend into a chaotic journey of self-reflection.
Devised by NO TABLE, the piece draws on today’s shifting activism landscape as it clashes with growing feelings of despondency, nihilism, and powerlessness. Set in an all-too-familiar dystopian corporate world, Eating Jeff zooms in on the absurd idolatry for our billionaire overlords and the harmful ‘hustle culture’ they continue to breed.
Eating Jeff was first presented at Peckham Previews Festival, and was developed as part of Blue Elephant Theatre's Elephantology residency.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
