Set at a very unusual recruitment company, rob steal swindle examines what happens when young people are pushed to accept low pay – and then pushed too far… When adult society has no place for you, what does it mean to be an adult in our society?

An absurdist black comedy specially commissioned by Mountview, rob steal swindle is wild, inventive and shocking.
