Four people arrive to work the night shift in a meat factory. They meet for the first time. They are employed as cleaners, by a temp agency. They are all on zero-hour contracts, sent out by a text message to different jobs. Every shift, they clean. Every four hours, they take a break. They drink tea or coffee together. They read magazines. They chat. As it gets light, they go home, or to another job. The cycle goes on. And on. Strangers. Until something stirs, until isolated people get too close to one another, too fast.
Translated and adapted from Beyond Caring, which premiered in London in 2014, Prendre Soin is an honest, darkly humorous, play that shines a light on the invisible classes.
