Severance Package by Freddie van der Velde

Despite giving her life to an investment bank - financial analyst and modafinil guzzler Olivia May is being made redundant. Furious with the decision, she refuses to leave until she gets what she’s owed.

Severance Package is an explosive comedy that explores our relationship with wealth, privilege and grapefruit knives.

Severance Package was written by Freddie van der Velde. It was performed by Nicola Coughlan and Kate Stokes. It was Directed by Hannah De Ville and Sound Designed by Piers Sherwood Roberts.

Bitter Pill are committed to producing new writing until theatres in the UK reopen. Through The Painkiller Project, we’re open for submissions once a month and are producing two plays from each submission window.

  • If you enjoy the play you’re about to hear and you’d like to support the continuation of the project, you can make a one-off donation through PayPal.me - https://www.paypal.me/bitterpilltheatre
  • Or, you can become a patron to the project through Patreon. This allows you to make a donation that would be repeated each time a new winning play is released, fortnightly - http://patreon.com/bitterpilltheatre

It would mean the world to us and allow us to make more work.
