TAGG presents an award-winning metaphysical thriller following one man's desperate attempts to buck the system, and asking what really makes us who we are in the 21st century.

Charlie is an up and coming advertising executive who doesn't feel like he is living a real life. The loss of his mother, combined with a few errors in judgement, have landed him exactly where the play starts us off, debating existence in the office of Lost Property. Through the course of the play he runs into doctors, business men, landlords, clergy, drug dealers and loan sharks but the one person he can't seem to get away from is Sophie, a forensics pathologist, who pops up at the most unexpected places. Follow Charlie on his quest to find meaning in life: the one he was given and the one he chooses to create.

Please note: This production is rated PG-13. It contains adult themes and situations and is not suitable for small children.
