Your house weighs 3181kg*. Excluding bricks. And one day a stranger will handle every single item. Someone has seen every curry you forgot at the back of your fridge; the contents of every bin bag; even your discarded, holey, underwear. Horrified? Okay, don’t worry, they’re not judging (well, only slightly)… They’re ‘just doing their job’ - like the rest of us!

In amongst plotting inconsequential workplace pranks, illicit gambling (with biscuits), and dreaming of bigger things – what would you do if the future of Aberdeen was up to you? More housing or places to dance? Because who wouldn’t need mischief and dreams, when your job is sorting 12 tonnes of waste a day.

Join Late Boy, Telephone Kid, New Build, and Wordsy for a community tour of your local Waste Management Centre. You’re in safe hands – absolutely nothing goes wrong when we all ‘just do our jobs’, right?

*The contents of an average four bedroom UK house weighs between 3181Kg and 4536Kg.

A new play by Ink Asher Hemp, directed by Cameron Mowat and performed by a young company of emerging actors. Commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts for Climate Week North East and Light The Blue 2024.

Macrobert Youth Theatre: Midnight Library
This surreal new play invites audiences into a hidden world within an ordinary library, and what begins as an innocent search for a book becomes a journey through shadow, wonder, and dread where escape is never certain, and the stories may consume more than you bargain for.
