The End of Civilization

The End of Civilization
by George F. Walker

Directed by Vicki Smith

What do you do when you can’t put food on the table? How do you make mortgage payments without a job? How many people should you kill, and just how many blow-jobs does it take to make your world right again?

The victims of downsizing, Henry and Lily book into a seedy motel and make a last-ditch attempt to find work. Before long, Henry’s fellow job hunters are checking out on dirt holidays, and just who is planting the bombs at those factories?

Max and Donny, two detectives whose moral compasses will always and only lead them to trouble take on the case as Lily befriends Sandy, the friendly prostitute next-door...

The human blowback of corporate profiteering heralds the end of civilization in the Act-O-Matic 3000’s (The Laramie Project - Green Room Award winner Best Independent Production, The Return, bash) gripping Australian premiere which asks you, how low can you go?
