Interview, The

Synopsis:
David has been called to an interview at Mond Holdings. His career is going exactly nowhere and he needs his big break, but how can he make a good impression when he doesn't know the first thing about the job or the company? Is there even a job on offer, or has he been called here for some other reason? This is a play about the questions we would rather not be asked.
