The Price of Everything
A performance lecture about value
How much is beauty worth?
What will people pay for an air guitar on eBay?
Can I have a glass of milk?
These urgent questions and others are answered in The Price of Everything, a performance lecture about value. Daniel Bye's whistlestop tour of bizarre facts and impassioned arguments is occasionally shambolic and often tendentious - but always a joy to watch.
Comic, provocative, and possibly a tiny bit sad, this show is a must if you've ever wondered about the difference between the price of an object and its value.
And you get a free glass of milk.
Written and performed by Daniel Bye
Directed by Richard Bonham
Designed by Emma Tompkins
Supported by Arts Council England
