FRED, TED, JACK AND HAROLD – SERIAL KILLER COMEDY OR: THE SECRET LIVES OF OFFICE WORKERS
Mundane. Boring. Repetitive. Tedious. These are the words that very Northern Fred in his 40s, Ted the attractive 30-year old American, the Londoner Jack in her 20s, and 50-year-old Harold may use to describe their jobs at the office. What starts out as an innocent conversation about work between colleagues quickly becomes worthy of a trip to HR. This is where the absolutely wicked office manager Liz, and her 20-year old toy-thing Myra begin to play with the minds of the employees. How exactly they came to work here no one knows… in fact they can’t seem to remember much outside of their lives in the office. Things really heat up for Fred, Ted, Jack, and Harold once they learn the reason for them being where they are… It’s a killer secret!
This is a serial killer comedy script about comeuppance and the price we pay for being bad. Spankings, mutilations, and even a coup. Who knew office politics could be so…deadly?
