    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.

    "Companies like us genuinely would not be making theatre if it was not for the ability of CPT and its team to identify artists who are worth taking a chance on."
