Pick Up The Receiver, We'll Make You A Believer

'Market Research This' is a new play by talented young playwright, Shaun Dunne. The script will get its first outing on Saturday 25th of July as part of the Project Theatre's 'Project Brand New'.

Since setting up in March 2008, Project Brand New has presented 57 brand new performances across many art forms, providing audiences with a chance to see emerging talents and to engage in feedback and discussion. Shaun's script was selected for performance at the fourth edition of the initiative and will be directed by up-and-coming talent Grace Dyas.

As someone who still has nightmares about my six month stint operating a headset for a market research company, I'm really eager to see how Shaun will put his play's setting of a call-centre to use. If his previous scripts are anything to go by, it'll be a fairly abstract slant on the world of survey quotas, social classifications and screaming home-owners.

Tickets for Project Brand New are only five euro. However, they are very much in demand and previous shows have sold out in advance. So, if you fancy catching this show ahead of its full run in 2010, be sure to (cold) call The Project nice and early.
