Slaves of Starbucks is Peter Aterman’s signature work, the quintessential example of his particular brand of intelligent, character-based comedy. The show has won five awards internationally, including the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in London, the Golden Cockerel Award for the Best Show at the Hill Street Theatre, Edinburgh, and second place at the Kiel International Monodrama Festival in Kiel, Germany.

Exploring the rise of America and the decline of Europe in the 20th century, Slaves of Starbucks is a savage, wickedly funny satire of contemporary culture that is more relevant than ever. Playing 19 different characters, Aterman offers up a surreal free-fall through the Golden Age of mass culture, effortlessly bridging sketch comedy and theatre with a performance of controlled intensity.
