Chicago. The midst of the Great Depression. Arturo Ui and his henchmen just want to look after you, to offer protection for workers, for jobs, for businesses. Nothing to fear. But a little bribery here, some harmless corruption there, and soon something much more dangerous takes hold.

Taking this playful two-hander to the Fringe with minimum funding. From rehearsals in living rooms to sell-out performances.
Jimmy's only solace is his weekly call with phone sex worker Kitty. Kitty’s life isn't fulfilling either, living with her topiary-obsessed landlord, and making £1.20 talking to strangers. When one morning Jimmy realises he's going invisible, both their worlds are turned upside down.
