Paperweight

Fringe First Award Winners

presented by Top Of The World

£12.00 Concs: £8.00

Paperweight is the absurd story of two men trapped in mindless office jobs. As the pressures of work and the ever present threat of the telephone ringing increase, chaos descends. An (almost) silent comedy, of escalating intensity and surprising tenderness.

A sell out show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year, Paperweight received critical acclaim including a Total Theatre Award nomination and winning a Scotsman Fringe First Award.

Top of the World is Tom Frankland, Sébastien Lawson and Jamie Wood. Their collaboration fuses surreal humour, visual poetry and arresting storytelling to present a bold and uncompromising theatrical experience.

Winner of a Scotsman FRINGE FIRST AWARD 2008 for innovation and outstanding new writing.

4 stars- The Scotsman

5 stars - The British Theatre Guide:
"Paperweight exists in the shadow of Albee, Beckett and Pinter (...) It’s one of those plays that people feel strongly about. Hate it or love it, it’s brilliantly done."

4 stars- Metro: "Paperweight has echoes of Godot (...)You'll never think the same of those with whom you share a printer again."
