I’ve Been Expecting You

Fireside Manchester

What if destiny had an entry-level position?
Henry and Jay, the two lowest ranking members of a supervillain's criminal organisation, learn the true meaning of a dead-end job when they are pitted against the world's greatest superspy. It is only once their boss utters the immortal words “Ah, Mr Jones. I've been expecting you”, do they realise the job isn't quite what was advertised.
As the questions pile up and answers only baffle, the two men start to unravel a conspiracy that leaves them wondering... Why isn’t there a lunch menu today?
I’ve Been Expecting You takes a fresh perspective on the familiar genres, a timeless spy-thriller . This is a hilarious, dark and meta play that covers themes surrounding the fatalism of class, the emotional callousness of patriarchy and... friendship? All this is wrapped up in a witty, thrilling satire of suave super-spies, cat stroking super-villains and those destined to be collateral damage.
