Jack Bennett stars in 'Windfall' which opens at the Southwark Playhouse tomorrow night, Thursday 9th February. The play is a "violent, crazy, hilarious, bloody" comedy, which had a critically acclaimed run in New York last year.
'Windfall' tells the story of five downtrodden office workers who are pushed to the edge by their maniacal boss, and decide to risk it all on a five-hundred-million-dollar lottery ticket in the hope of a better life. But money changes everything… Co-workers become accomplices, lovers become rivals, and friends become enemies, as the prospect of winning brings out the very worst in everyone.
Jack plays Glenn Brannon who is the boss of Brannon Data Entry. He’s controlling, scheming and volatile. He treats his staff like animals, whilst their shortcomings cause him a string of stress-related ailments. It seems his one pleasure is bringing misery to their lives.
The play is directed by Mark Bell, known for directing the West End hit 'The Play That Goes Wrong'.
Reviewers in New York described the play as, “An absolute Summer delight.” (Broadway World), “Comedic perfection” (27East.com) and “a bloody good time.” (TheaterLife.com).
'Windfall' runs at the Southwark Playhouse until 11th March. Tickets available now.
