Indulge In the Price

My Interpretation:
I see the piece to be about austerity, particularity about the austerity process going on in the UK right now, making this piece extremely relevant. The piece is cut into different sections, this is useful as it allows us to cover multiple different subjects seamlessly, such as disabled people desperately needing benefits and yet receiving none, and also the cuts to police making the force having to prioritise some crimes over others. We present this in a satirical and hyperbolic way to really get our point across to the audience. I interpret the play to be anti-austerity, this is because I feel the scenarios we present to the audience in some way represent an unequal and unjust society, a society controlled by large corporations and where humanity is ultimately lost to our overwhelming need to consume. For example there is a part of the performance where we all take out wads of money and begin to eat it, whilst embodying the physicality of barbaric zombie chanting "consume." This shows us losing our dignity and sophistication as human beings, almost de evolving back to our animal and Neanderthal states right before the audience. This will most likely impact the audience, it will especially if we go and get up and close to the audience.
