How do you find the right words when they become wrong?
Businessperson B is on the cusp of a big promotion after nailing a high pressure presentation at work. However, when B’s colleague finds some of their language offensive, the office spirals into a dystopian culture clash.
BAFTA-nominated Vinay Patel’s satirical play Sticks and Stones masterfully confronts the power of language, self-righteousness and so called 'cancel culture'.
