MAJOR national annual dates these days are at least as much about selling as they are about celebrating – and that’s certainly the case in Terry’s: An American Tragedy About Cars, Customers, and Selling Cars to Customers, coming to Dorchester Arts at the Corn Exchange on Thursday 13th November.

Memorial Day weekend … the US-of-A. The sales team at Terry’s Cars and Automobiles is preparing to honour the fallen by slashing prices on some gently used, (mostly) American-made cars. But the pressure’s on. If Terry’s team doesn’t shift 66 cars by Monday, there’ll be hell to pay…

From award-nominated, Lecoq-trained company Brillig, Terry’s is an absurd, sitcom-style tragicomedy with original live music, physical theatre and one very special balloon. There’s no guarantee the team will reach the target, but it’s going to be the ride of your life.
