“Hope? Hope, is that you?”
Years and years ago, Hope disappeared. Now, she’s back. To find something she left behind.
But in the People’s Republic of Koka Kola – a world of dwindling resources, corruption and corporate giants – what happens to Hope?
Follow Hope on a surreal and frenetic quest through a hyper-capitalist country in this new play by Tom Fowler, directed by Royal Court Associate Director, Lucy Morrison.
Hope has a Happy Meal is a co-production with SISTER.
