"Room Service", a live interactive film, is set in the conference room of a hotel where the audience watch four performers on huge TV monitors set side by side. Each performer is in a separate hotel room, unable to see and hear the audience or each other. It’s late at night, and none of them are sleeping. Instead, they kill time, sharing moments of hope, fear and boredom. Their only contact to the outside world is a phone line that puts them directly in contact with the audience. As the night progresses they call their voyeurs with increasingly absurd and desperate demands in a plea to remain with them and help them make it through the night.

Gob Squad members are currently mentoring Irish artists Brokentalkers on a new performance project, with the support of British Council Ireland.

A performance reliant on the audience’s response and participation on the night – I’m intrigued! Will check back closer to the date for ticket details.
