Frank's got the interview. It's his big break. He just has to persuade two formidable women from the Corporation and he can swap his dull post-grad existence for luxury in Russia - the Wild East. But the women have agendas of their own, Frank has a secret past and watching them all through cameras is the sinister Corporation itself. Not The National Theatre presents this specially commissioned new version of a witty and biting satire on the corporate world by multi award-winning playwright April de Angelis. “...a brilliantly funny, brilliantly evil and brilliantly hopeful comedy.” - Sunday Times |

One innocent student
Two intimidating women
An insatiable corporation...
and some yoghurt-eating bears?
Wild East was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre in London in February 2005.
