THE CONSULTANT was conceived as a site-specific production for workplaces to draw a new kind of audience to its intricate comedy.

A Faustian tale about power and love, unpicking the worlds of management and management consultancy, writer Neil Fleming’s piece took a hard look at the relationships we build (and destroy) each time we go out to work.  As with much of Hydrocracker’s work, high-quality acting drew in audiences to a world with which they were familiar and demanded they look afresh. 

THE CONSULTANT was translated into German by award-winning German playwright, Ulrike Syha, with a Bern-Deutsch dialect version prepared by dialect expert, Theo Schmid.
