Square(d) By David Furlong

Square(d) is a farce. Four friends realize over one evening that they have the same comfort, same meaningless life, and same lover! Through a series of rare disasters, the unbelievable makes them question themselves. Their lives take a u-turn, for better, or for worse? Square(d) is a comedy about adults facing doubts in a credit-crunch era. What happens when they realize that the goals and dreams they’ve pursued half their lives aren’t really fulfilling? What is the purpose of a consumerist society?  

Why is your phone so tiny? Why do you own a rabbit as a pet? Do you really need an electric barbecue? Square(d)’s design is inspired by a single shot from the movie Fight Club where a character walks in a catalogue page. It’s a play about consumerism. Square(d) takes us deep into the madness of the situation as farces really are the most chaotic form of theatre! Influenced by “In yer face theatre” from the nineties, Tarantino, and grunge music, Square(d) is an edgy and funny way of looking at questions that people ask themselves today.
