| Pandora's Boxes
It’s the Developing World and it’s now!
Pandora has everything; her husband, their love, their baby and the surrounding nature. That is until the “Real Life” box arrives and entices her into the pernicious world of advertising, consumerism, credit and avarice. Her naïve values and motherly instincts vanish as she embraces the emerging economy. She finds a job, she finds a nursery, she finds ever more boxes to buy and is seduced not only by the neon lit modern world with its “Friends” cigarettes and “Teenypops” drinks, but also by her new employer. Ultimately, her life collapses. Only then does she realise the insidious temptation of the box.
Although this play is set in a remote part of the world, Pandora could be, and probably is, anyone of us... Even maybe you!
