MADS latest production gets under way with Ben Elton's debut play Gasping. It is set in the work-hard, play-hard yuppiedom of the 1980s where the air we breathe has become just another commodity. Sold like bottled water but increasingly, available only to those who can afford to buy it.
Ironically with the current heat wave I doubt a single member of the audience would have refused to buy a cool sniff of fresh air if it had been on sale. The parallels to life today are frequently discomforting. You won’t like the characters but then again, you aren’t meant too. So don’t let that stop you going. The play is punctuated with some good Elton one-liners and a cool 80s sound track to help ease you through the set changes. Congratulations, MADS.
