Gasp!
Synopsis
Written by Ben Elton
Imagine a world in which the air we breathe is just another commodity like food and fuel. Something that can be bought and sold according to forces. Designer air proves to be the marketing phenomenon of the decade. But as the demand outstrips supply, the world is starting to gasp and only the biggest suckers survive.
Gasp! is a deliciously funny, dark and biting satire, that takes a deep look at the priority that corporations place on profit over people.
