Publick Transport presents a new comedy set in Russia where two civil servants jostle for power, one a puffed up bureaucrat in search of a job description, the other an unexpected inspector. Reluctant to commit to specific thought for fear of showing ignorance of the party line – which changes hourly – they make idle conversation out of which is extrapolated the deepest meaning, while their attempts at political correctness result in grammatical incorrectness.
“A hilarious caricature of the stifling formalities and hierarchies of office life, channelling Reggie Perrin, Kafka, Beckett and the Goons – and two splendid comic performances from Angus Barr and Toby W. Davies.”
