Make Better Please

Synopsis:
Uninvited Guests are in town. they call on the people to gather together and read the day's newspapers, to speak and to listen. Delve into the topics close to your heart and at the centre of your community. Make Better Please draws upon the news of the day, creating a unique show each night shaped by the audience. Possessed by the spirits of corporate fat cats, cabinet ministers and media tycoons, Uninvited Guests will speak the unspeakable and do the unthinkable.

Schlock

Synopsis:
Why do we not shout "enough" when we watch the TV news from Iraq or look at a photo of blood seeping from the head of a corpse? Could it be that we have become so used to fetishised images of violent death that we can no longer distinguish between the real death and the staged one; between real blood and tomato ketchup? - Gardner, Guardian
