The Receipt

FRINGE FIRST AWARD 2006
TOTAL THEATRE AWARD FOR INNOVATION 2006

A man flips out and searches the city for the owner of a receipt. Is he a hero, or an idiot?

A little story told by two men, a filing cabinet and a Moog.

Following the success of his 2004 Perrier Award winning Jackson’s Way, Will Adamsdale collaborates again with sonic artist and performer Chris Branch on a new theatre project, building on their work on Filter’s Faster (sell-out at BAC, Lyric Hammersmith and Brits Off Broadway, New York).

A collaboration between Will Adamsdale and Chris Branch.

Reviews and audience feedback

It’s a real cracker… This is a show that makes you yearn to get off the hamster wheel and make a bid for freedom **** – The Guardian

A superb, almost Gogol-like meditation on the fate of the little man in the big 21st-century city **** - The Scotsman

Funny, inventive and often rather beautiful
Evening Standard

****a charming and original devised piece...delightful characters
Time Out

Audience feedback

Wicked. The sound stuff is amazing and I can’t wait to see more.

I would like to take everyone I know, or have ever met. It really was rather good.

I thought The Receipt was one of the best plays I have ever seen, and I have been going to the theatre regularly for about 15 years.

Simply fantastic

Amazing. Quite brilliant. Best thing I saw at the festival. Love their energy.
