BEN WEAVER is in the city wearing his best suit, preparing for an interview eating a croissant, an almond croissant, when he witnesses a death.

BEN picks up deadman's lanyard which is left on the floor.

But as BEN puts the lanyard around his neck, he begins his transformation into the deadman - BEN MANAGER, and starts his unstoppable rise up the building, through the guts of the corporate world at MONOLITH INDUSTRIES.

Now he just needs to work out what the hell he's meant to be doing.


The Unstoppable Rise of Ben Manager is a dark satire about making an impact, hitting targets and doing your best to make a difference in the world of bullshit jobs.

This first solo show from Jack Parris Brighton People's Theatre, Bunkum is a wild, violent and absurd physical comedy with live-scored music and songs.

Step into our office, because It’s time to gain traction.
