Work, But This Time Like You Mean It
Honor Webster-Mannison

Work, But This Time Like You Mean It is a darkly surreal comedy about young people's first experiences in the workplace. It's about having a good work ethic on less-than-minimum wage.

It's an unhinged, deep-fryer-dive into deeply human relationships, forged within the most alienating of circumstances.

The Weekend

As their lives pull further apart, leaving a mess of unsaid things between them, it's going to take something real to bring them back together.
