After losing his job, Joe is in total control of his world. It’s a pity that it exists only in 1/35 scale and is made of plastic. Unemployment has finally given him the time to enjoy his hobby of sticking bits of plastic together, but unfortunately his wife, his kids, the bank, his nemesis Hermann (whose real name is Brian), the checkout girl in Tesco and Angela Merkel have other ideas.
Premiered at Dublin Fringe Festival (2013), toured in Ireland (2014, 2015, 2016) and to Paris (2014), Finland (2015) and Wales (2016).
