The Office meets Dr. Strangelove in this satirical farce about the UK's weapons manufacturing industry. A former children's entertainer breaks into ABC Systems on the day that they are under investigation for corruption. The Clown moves through the building posing as an interview candidate, a senior employee and a bombastic lawyer protecting the company's interests. As the Clown flips through characters and disguises he ridicules the employees and tries to expose the lies at the heart of Britain's military-industrial complex. Through physical comedy and interaction with the crowd the audience is pulled into the world of the clown as his actions become more extreme as he probes at our morality. 'HR' is inspired by the work of satirists such as Dario Fo and looks to channel his anarchic spirit into a takedown of this sinister industry.

Developed at a Pleasance Scratch and The Sunday Fix at Baron's Court HR at the Bomb Factory explores an area of our economy that we do not often acknowledge. HR balances humour with sharp social commentary as our idea of what it means to be a 'civilised Western country' is placed under the microscope.
