Product Description

Product Description
A satire on big business, the media and product exploitation. Designer air proves to be the marketing phenomenon of the decade, but as demand outstrips supply, Lockheart Industries plunders the Third World for resources. The world is starting to gasp, and only the biggest suckers survive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gasping - a fast, funny adult comedy, 15 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Gasping is a satiricial play that takes a sharp stab with a pointy stick at the British Corporate world. In a story about environmental responsibility and social equality, Elton uses Aristocratic foppishness to turn an otherwise frightening scenario into a hilarious and thought provoking piece.

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)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, although I only saw the play, 14 April 2001
By A Customer
A great satire of money grabbing business. Good storyline, funny dialogues and well thought out characters. You've seen the play, now get the book.
