Summary
"Void story follows a beleaguered pair of protagonists on a rollercoaster ride through the decimated remains of contemporary culture ... Forced Entertainment perform this bleak and comical contemporary fable as if it were a radio play, sitting at tables, turning the pages of the script, 'doing' the requisite voices and adding in sound effects. Simultaneously the otherwise empty stage is dominated by a series of projected images, a storyboard for an impossible movie-version of Tim Etchells' text."--Container.
