HONOR – A COMEDY ABOUT POLITICS IN THE OFFICE

In medieval times, a man’s Honor was more than a virtue. It was a part of him, intertwined in his very soul. Without his Honor, he wasn’t a man at all – merely a shadow of a man. Men with no Honor lived on the fringes of society, shunned by all. For everyone understood that Honor was everything. And thus, the loss of that Honor meant a battle, sometimes to the death to regain it. For it was better to die with Honor than to live without it.

Welcome to the modern office, where office protocols and politics dictate the lives of the ant like office workers and the boardroom is the new battlefield. Where Honor can easily be lost, or possibly even taken from a man, just by a carefully placed whisper or rumor. (But you didn’t hear that from me..) Now – what if a man wanted to restore that lost Honor? What boardroom battles would he face to get there? And would it be a fight to the death? A Comedy about Politics in The Office

In Honor, the new hit problem comedy by playwright T.J. Elliott, we meet Don, who has lost his Honor to Rumor and must fight a final boardroom battle with Human Resources to regain it. Will he regain his lost Honor? And just how far would he be willing to go…?
