Ă propos de ce livre
Hate your job? Come work for us. This is a show about work.
But the worker isn't here, so it's down to you. You'll clock in at the beginning.
You'll get short breaks at regular intervals.
You'll work in a team, and under your own initiative. You will be your own boss.
You will be free. work.txt is a show performed entirely by the audience about the gig economy, financial instability and bullshit jobs. This edition was published to coincide with the run at the Soho Theatre in London in February 2022.

a gallery
The scene is projected behind the performers line by line. The printer prints the scene.
AIâd like to talk today about truth. About the truth of what life means to me, of what weâre doing and why. Of life and death. Of life AND death. And work. Obviously. This is about hard WORK. There has been SO much hard WORK gone into this new. This NEW gallery space, generously funded by Shell, which allows us to explore in dovetail the word of of of express blah the funding the blah blah blah blah.
B You ok?
ASorry, I didnât realise anyone else was here.
B I was here the whole time.
AI see that now. Sorry.
B I stay here the whole time. Thatâs my job. Iâm the gallery attendant. What are you doing?
AIâm rehearsing. I have to do a speech.
BWhat for?
AThe room is being renamed.
BYouâre the curator?
AYes.
BCongratulations.
AOn what?
BThis room. Itâs a very nice room. I like the exhibition.
AThank you.
BWorkspace. Itâs an interesting idea.
AThereâs a dot.
BWhat?
AWork dot space. Thereâs a dot in the middle. Itâs . . . The internet. Or something.
B A lot of people have just been saying âwork spaceâ.
AYes, I was told that might happen.
BI think itâs really interesting.
AThatâs good. Are you an artist?
BI studied art but in the script my role is just gallery attendant.
AItâs an important role. Not as important as the curator, obviously, but important!
B The exhibition makes me think about this thing I saw online, maybe you saw it. Itâs this person called [INSERT NAME]?
ANo I havenât seen it.
A member of the audience (shouting out)You work here, right? What does this thing here mean? Whatâs it about?
B Well, everything in this space is about work and space. And this is a piece by an artist from Mexico exploring crafts practices â
A member of the audience (shouting out)So, itâs about Mexico?
B No. Itâs â
A (interrupting)Itâs a really interesting piece, actually, exploring the way that work and leisure intersect, the ways beauty and imagination are manipulated â
A member of the audience (shouting out)It looks like blocks of painted wood.
AItâs a lot more than that.
A member of the audience (shouting out)Who are you?
AIâm the curator. Of the space.
A member of the audience (reading off the wall, still shouting)workspace. Whatâs that?
B Work dot space. Thereâs a dot.
A member of the audience (shouting out)Ok. Whereâs the best art?
AWell, itâs all world-class, what do you like?
A member of the audience (shouting out)Art. You know, like Art?
AIâm afraid I donât know what you mean.
A member of the audience (shouting out)Are you patronising me?
ANo.
A member of the audience (shouting out)You are, youâre patronising us, youâre patronising me and my husband and my family. You think weâre too stupid to understand this art and that I want simple art, which isnât true, I just like different things to you, I just use art for different purposes to you. I donât need a gallery to explain what work is because I work already. I donât want to have to work hard in my spare time pretending to like little blocks of wood stacked up on top of each other. Iâve come a very long way to be here, so that I could look at some really nice art, and feel a bit calmer, and then take a picture to show my elderly relatives when I get home.
AWell, I think . . .
A member of the audience (shouting out)Iâm not finished. I have to be back at work on Monday, real work, not like you do, stood around chatting about thoughts and feelings, about whether work is good or bad or pointless. Of course I hate my job. Everyone does. But you have to work. What else would you do? And the thing is I want to show the people at work that Iâve been to some proper art on my holiday. Which I think is fine. Isnât it? Isnât that fine? I want to see a Monet.
B Thereâs a Monet on the second floor in the BP Gallery.
A member of the audience (shouting out)Thank you.
B Iâm sorry about that.
ADonât be. Itâs fine. Theyâre probably right.
B No.
AThey are, theyâre probably right, the blocks of wood were an error. Whatever. Itâs not important. I get sent thank-you cards.
B Do you?
ASometimes. I get sent letters. From people saying how much they like my work.
B That must be nice.
AIt is. It makes me think, what Iâm doing must be worthwhile.
Pause.
B I donât get sent letters.
AWhat?
BIt was a joke. Iâm a gallery attendant, so, obviously I donât get sent letters.
AOf course. A joke. You were talking about [INSERT NAME].
B There are lots of pictures on social media. Iâll show you on my phone.
AAnd then the curator looks at a picture on the attendantâs phone of [INSERT NAME] lying down in the lobby.
B And then the attendant shows the picture of [INSERT NAME] to the curator. The attendant watches the face of the curator, to see if they seem bored or impressed. The attendant talks to the curator about what they think the meaning of the thing might be. They talk about what the significance of [INSERT NAME] is to them, of what that action, which...
