A fast-paced comedy set in the near future when learning disabled and/or autistic people have taken over the world of film & TV.

At the forefront is The Matthew Purnell Show, the world’s biggest chat show. Today, it’s the 100th episode, and the money people are paying a visit. But the host is running late, the camera crew are hung over, the director is missing, and a shadowy figure is lurking unseen… Can the team get it together before the biggest show yet?

Featuring a cast of 31 learning-disabled and/or autistic actors.

Unstable (Excerpt from Hijinx’s Metamorphosis)

‘When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin. In that moment his world instantly changed. Unable to leave his home, he could not work, he could not communicate, he could not hold his family close, he went from provider to burden. He was on mute while the world revolved around him. A cast of 12, all of whom awoke to a different world, without work, forced to reinterpret their profession, their identity, their very worth to the world, offer a reinterpretation of Franz Kafka’s classic novella for our times. Presented via Zoom, this live performance is an experiment in recreating the highly interactive nature of Hijinx’s productions online. You, the audience, may even become part of the action, so make sure you are dressed appropriately, or at the very least, dressed. Age guidance 14+ (strong language and adult themes)’
