American Candy Studio Tour

Sat 20 Sep View Venues, Dates & Times

While many are legitimate businesses, some American candy stores here in the UK have been the subject of investigation, with claims being made that they may be connected to numerous questionable practices; think, tax evasion, money laundering and the selling of counterfeit goods. 

As such, they make an ideal setting for Tom Murray’s dark comedy about capitalism and corruption...
Candy-store employees Zaynab and Connor want to close up the shop for the night, but one customer refuses to leave. Ten minutes later, her unconscious body is in the basement - and what  Zaynab and Connor  uncover from there has a profound effect on the course of their lives...

“The American candy store is a perfect metaphor,” playwright Tom is quoted as saying by broadwayworld.com. “A shop no one asked for, no one visits, and whose real purpose remains unknown - a ‘front’, not unlike the artificial roles many of us play in today’s economy.”
