Three strangers converge at a management training day focused upon Leadership, Accountability, and Empathy. Their task: fire a colleague. In the semi-improvisational piece BAD NEWS, three actors assume professional personas to engage with a (real) corporate actor-facilitator whom they have never met before. In the film - as in real life, behind closed doors - applied theatre techniques originally designed to give individuals and communities a sense of agency are redirected to serve HR.
