“There’s a very rich man inside you, Richie. Inside that crazy head of yours. A good man. An ambitious man. A man who knows exactly what it is he’s going to do when he wakes up every morning, and a man who does exactly that”

Rise. Grind. Hustle. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat…

Lifelong best friends Richie and Darwin are on the lowest rung of the corporate ladder, stuck in the basement together with decades of old case files to work through. Darwin’s morning routine is an episode of Seinfeld and a spliff; Richie’s an ice bath, meditation, and Jack Dorsey’s 7 minute workout.

When an opening becomes available as a Junior Associate, it presents the opportunity to fly up the ranks faster than SpaceX’s latest rocket. The only things that might prevent that awesome LinkedIn update? The voice of Richie’s OCD whose demands are getting harder and harder to keep up with, and the fact that Darwin’s mum just happens to be the CEO calling the shots.

Will Lord’s debut play is a biting satire questioning the value of motivation, and what it may end up costing you. Anna Ledwich returns to Hampstead, where her previous credits include anthropology, Labyrinth and Olivier nominated productions of Dry Powder and Four Minutes Twelve Seconds.
