The first play written by the popular author of Popcorn , Gasping is a brilliantly funny satire on big business, the media and product exploitation. Lockheart Industries is making serious money, but Sir Chiffley Lockheart needs the buzz that finding a way to make money where none has existed before gives him. Philip, a pushy workaholic executive, suggests selling designer air. Perrier for the nostrils becomes the marketing phenomenon of the decade and millions are quickly made. People start hoarding for a rainy day and oxygen supplies run low. The Third World is plundered, creating a greater divide between the haves and have nots. The world starts gasping and only the biggest suckers survive.
"A poisonously funny morality play.... A remarkable debut." London Sunday Times.
"A sharp witted satire.... Extremely funny." Independent.

Gasping is fast, witty, 'in-your-face' and filled with willy jokes - particularly in reference to elephants.
If you get the opportunity to see Gasping performed... do.
(David Higgins - I play Phillip)
