Revolution has torn through the land, leaving society teetering on a knife edge. A young artist finds himself holed up at the City Hotel with his mother, where he must sing for his supper. In the face of ruin, with a pile of unpaid hotel bills growing out of control, the artist has just three days to produce one hundred artworks before he and his mother are turned out onto the street. Forced to face his demons, the artist struggles to stay on course, and soon finds he has to consider the very nature of art and capitalism if he is to succeed in his task. 'A stunning debut... a profound examination of the value and meaning of being an artist... a series of hilarious tirades hide a deeper exploration of artistry and the ideal conditions for art to be made.' - Broadway World, 'Set in a disturbingly familiar future, this play makes us ponder the true value of art.' - London Pub Theatres Magazine
