"You’re not working class. You’re Bulgarian. You weren’t even born in this country."
In Working Class Hero, a white privately-educated Posh Actor frustrated by being pigeonholed decides he wants to do a “gritty” independent film “up North” with “an outrageous accent” and “red hair”. Problem is that script was written by his best friend - a migrant Working Class Actor who wrote it as a vehicle for himself. When Posh Actor gets the job, the conflict ultimately strains their friendship to a breaking point.
A character piece that plays like an action-packed comedy with some absurdist plot twists, Working Class Hero is a satire in which two actors put on some silly wigs (and accents) and aided by sketch comedy, physical theatre, and multimedia performance take us on a high-speed romp through the British class system.
