Edifice And Artifice is an urgent satire on the state of the wealth gap today and its consequences for the planet. It takes place in the near future at the London headquarters of fictional oil company Starco, and in the protest camp laying siege to the skyscraper outside.
As London floods and the government retreats and factionalises, victims of the flooding join those protesting. Meanwhile, the staff left in the building, including the executives, assume the authorities will step in at any moment. With this powder keg of expectation, it's only a matter of time before the haves and have-nots collide.
In the absence of security staff and police, Hector Starholt, heir to the Starco empire, thinks a TV debate with the protesters will diffuse the situation. This miscalculation rebounds on him with dire consequences.
Exeter Drama Company is pleased to present the inaugural performances of this play and has a growing record of championing new writing. Examples include radio plays and monologues produced during lockdown, which are available to listen to from the Media Projects section of the Exeter Drama Company website.
