This is a student written, absurd and very municipal comedy. Think Succession meets Jacky Weaver's parish council meeting.
Set in a small northern town, staff training day at the council-run leisure centre descends into a chaotic power vacuum when the longstanding manage announces his retirement. A community institution spirals into a mass of petty rivalries and bureaucratic lunacy in a battle to see who will claim the chlorine-stained thrown.
On his first day as a trainee, Daniel, must learn the ropes, the bureaucratic red tape, and the 70-page long safety procedure from his whacky co-workers, who are less interested in training the new guy than they are in sabotaging one another’s chances of getting the vacant managerial position. In the meantime, retiring manager, Michael, and council head, Vinnie, meet to pass their sinister judgement on the potential candidates.
