No Milk For the foxes
Beats & Elements
This was my first collaboration with director, actor and musican Conrad Murray, under the guise of Beats & Elements. We first scratched back in 2013 at Battersea Arts Centre and went to have a full run at Camden People's Theatre the show went onto to do really well, we got a whole bunch of reviews, had a peice in the Guardian, seemed to get a lot of poeple talking..
Two security guards. One night shift. Zero hours contracts.
Is it important to aspire to a higher station or better just to accept your lot? As the television monitors buzz in front of them, two friends pass the night shift debating status, class and milk.

Through spoken word, humour, live looping and beatbox, No Milk For The Foxes explores Cameron’s England from the perspective of the working class. As working class artists themselves, the creators want to challenge representations of class on the modern stage and bring humour and humility to their audiences
