An interactive comedy play about the value of art in society.
Entrepreneur Vince Fine and his small team are launching Artworks, a new initiative to help get unemployed people engaged in making Art. Unfortunately for Vince, the launch is dogged by infighting among his team, surprise guests and the fact that his girlfriend is pregnant and upset...
What else could possibly go wrong?
Exploring issues of how society views those living on welfare benefits, the 'creative industries' and what we should value in life, this dark comedy (running in real time) charts the fall from grace of the central comedic hero, Vince Fine, as he watches everything he's ever dreamed of slip from his fingers.
Includes some audience participation and interaction.

About previous work
Comedy values aside, this is a fresh and timely piece of exploratory theatre. Project XXX maintains that it did not intend to provide any answers but simply to ask the questions. −Sarah Bloomer, What's On Stage
...This, of course, is all in keeping with the theme, and breathes life into the Lantern theatre space like no production I've seen there before. The multimedia element gave a dimension to the drama that really gave Project XXX a boost. −Vicky Andersen, Made Up in Liverpool
Project XXX is a disturbing look at an issue that's becoming ever more relevant. With youngsters as young as 13 filming and distributing explicit imagery of themselves, Project XXX is trying to gain an understanding of why. −Martin Charlton, The Edge Chorlton
