Operation Blank
Someone has dropped an Atom Bomb on Copenhagen! With the end of the world looming, a junior minister in the British government must stimulate a response from his superiors before the world descends into anarchy. There is just one thing standing in his way: Microsoft teams.
Shortlisted for best Scottish theatre production at Edinburgh Fringe 2025
"Its the end of the world, are you sure we should do nothing?"
A one hour surrealist black comedy about one young man’s attempt to find meaning and purpose whilst trapped chronically online. Set entirely on a surreal Teams call, Operation Blank tackles themes of unfulfillment, escapism, and existential dread in our post-pandemic internet world.
Operation Blank performed at four festivals throughout 2025: Wandsworth and Watford fringe as part of its previews, and Edinburgh and Camden Fringe as part of its main theatrical run. With sell-out performances at Edinburgh and the Canal Café Theatre in London, Operation Blank was a hit with audiences, and concluded it's year with a nomination for best Scottish theatre production at Edinburgh fringe 2025.
