“What are my symptoms? Aches and pains. A general sense of unease. Despair.”
Alison is feeling sick. She’s sick of working at ALDI, with its harsh fluorescent lights and overbearing managers. She’s sick of living with her Aunt, with her strange and slightly terrifying demands. She’s sick of doing anything at all, really. But the more she tries to fight the system and escape her obligations, the more she finds herself drawn into the surreal and all-encompassing clutches of ALDI…
Alison Goes to ALDI for Her Aunt is an ambitious new work that dives into the unspoken anxieties that lurk within all of our lives. Exploring issues like mental illness and our broken unemployment system with both humour and horror, this psychologically-charged and satirical play will immerse you in the strange world of Alison’s head.
