Collective Agreement

2005 Collective Agreement -Festival of New Theatre

Written by Whiti Hereaka

Directed by Larry Rew

Assistant Director: Yael Gezentsvey

How do you survive bad pay, snotty superiors and the monotony of retail hell? – rob the customers, of course!

Step 1: Nod and Smile (the customer is always right!).
Step 2: Maintain the illusion of the perfect employee, always on time, always tidy and always polite.
Step 3: Rip off the buggers and frame someone else.

Larry Rew a member of the Director’s Guild of Great Britain and former retail assistant Whiti Hereaka have joined in a Collective Agreement to expose what’s really going on at our department stores.
