Perfect Mayhem & The Windchil Factor present the UK Premier production
of Risk Everything by George F Walker. This is the final instalment
of the highly successful series called Suburban Motel; a collection of
six plays which all take place in the same seedy motel room in urban Canada.
Risk Everything follows the plight of Denise and RJ, a recovering junkie
and reality TV addict, as they try unsuccessfully to live life on the
straight and narrow. Carol, Denise's mother, a hardened gambling addict
pulls them back into the seedy world of loan-sharks, murder and mayhem.
Along for the ride is Michael, an "innocent" bystander and wanna-be
porn-king.
The play is 85 minutes of high paced, black comedy from one of Canada's
pre-eminent playwrights. First produced in 1997 Risk Everything has been
played to rave reviews across Canada and the US. This is it's first production
in the UK.
