Catherine Văn-Davies (Constellations) stars in this thrilling one-person show that goes deep into the chaos of corporate America and exposes the terrible truth of ‘climbing the ladder’.

Our anonymous protagonist is fighting to distinguish out in the high-powered and intensely competitive offices of a top-tier management consulting firm. Unlike many of her coworkers, she is neither drawn to money, nor does she find the long hours and crushing workload easy, as the others appear to. She’s also running from a nasty history. When an opportunity to prove her worth and flee the office presents itself in the guise of a distractingly handsome (and married) senior partner, she seizes it.

In American Signs, playwright Anchuli Felicia King (The Poison of Polygamy) delivers a scorching and contemporary work that will have you simultaneously moved and hanging from the edge of your seat. Darkly comic, raw and daring, American Signs is an impeccably written portrait of a complex character and an opportunity to see some of this country’s most exciting young theatre-makers at the top of their game.
