After receiving an anonymous package, Colin is both appalled and bemused by what he finds inside. Surely he should just ignore it… But who on earth would send him such a thing – and why put it in a cake box?
Immediately, Colin finds himself fighting all-new levels of existential angst. He’s not used to this sort of scrutiny, and his instinctive reaction is to trawl back through his entire life – dissecting everything – convinced that he can channel his inner Poirot and unmask the offending sender. But while his sister Lisa and her husband Brian scramble to save Colin from diving down this particularly murky rabbit hole, it isn’t long before his list of possible suspects has gotten out of control and he’s scheming to do whatever it takes to smoke out the culprit.
The Gift is the world premiere of Dave Florez's irreverent new and irreverent comedy at the Park Theatre that unashamedly dives head first into the murky waters of modern-day vengeance and past transgressions, all the while fully prepared to get down and dirty in the process.
Exactly what should you do after someone tries to seriously upset your applecart? Should you just take it in your stride? Maybe try to see the funny side? Or never rest until the perpetrator is found and made to pay a heavy price?
