Synopsis
Getting out is a fast paced, highly physical one-act comedy set in a London law firm at the height of the credit crunch. With eleven of your favourite office characters, ranging from a sleazy American managing partner to an Elvis impersonating office junior, from a bimbo secretary with a leaking breast implant to a socially inept handy man, Getting Out’s highly talented cast display multi-role playing at its best - think John Godber meets Green Wing. Playing heavily on the many awkward work-based scenarios we all find ourselves in – toilets, lifts, taxis and of course office romances, this play covers it all without loosing the depth and sincerity of feeling which makes it all the more hilarious. Released at a perfect time to have a laugh at city life, it ultimately highlights a theme very close to every office worker’s heart  - ‘Getting Out’!

Writer
This is Sarah Henley’s first play. It is based on the five years she spent working in a private practice law firm in the City prior to training as an actor (names have been changed to protect the innocent!). Sarah is a keen member of the ‘London Comedy Writers’ where ‘Getting Out’ had an extremely successful second reading. Currently working in one of the big banks in Canary Wharf, Sarah has had renewed inspiration for getting ‘Getting Out’ off the ground!
