A surreal rollercoaster ride through the golden age of advertising. It's Big Tony's Big wake and we are all here to celebrate his life, his achievements, his triumphs. With Mr. Kipling Cakes on tap and surrounded by the cr?me de la cr?me of the commercial Universe, his heartbroken widow takes us on rollercoaster journey through the golden age of advertising. Although not a superstar herself, she's a survivor and supreme mistress of re- invention. She hitch-hikes her way to eminence and the high-life. But what happens at the tail end of forty years in this cut-throat world, when the era of mascots, jingles and sugary cereals seems all but over? What is there left for a widowed chameleon? Can she adapt to these most challenging of times, can she remain relevant and at what cost? Who is she now that her protector is gone and what is left of her after so many re-imaginations? These are all questions to be explored in a new drama - a surreal world where memoir meets film-noir. This piece looks at how we sell and are sold to and how this is a changing landscape of media and sales. How it affects the way we look at each other and how we communicate.
