GAMESHOW

Game Show is a large-scale show biz spectacle that examines one man’s pursuit of fame and what he is willing to sacrifice for a chance at the big time. Set in a television studio, contestants compete for the chance to take home prizes; the game show hosts very own possessions! The host of Game Show, Humphrey, puts it all up for grabs and is placed under increasing pressure to sacrifice sentimental and increasingly valuable items in his quest to win. Game Show fuses game play, moral dilemmas, community engagement, live cinema and a scripted performance that critiques the cult of celebrity and the value of fame and materialism.
