Ever wanted to murder HR, sexually assault a puppet, and sing a charming little workplace song?

Join Strategists Beth and Ben as they induct a cohort of new-starters into E.N.T.I.T.Y., a leading global superpower in all industries. When the introduction of a new AI colleague threatens to derail their workshop, they must hold the session together while proving the value of human labour.

However, plans turns awry when Ben is seduced by the AI’s digital charm, while Beth is seduced by its unquestioning support for her “genius” project proposal, a deeply immoral plan to harness the raw sexual energy of criminals to solve climate change.

Beth and Ben: Your Place in the Workplace is an irreverent comedy on the absurdity of modern-day corporate culture, the goals overworked employees convince themselves they want to achieve, and the ever-looming fear of AI. A high-energy, multimedia two-hander.
