SYNOPSIS

​

‘This vote is one of the most important decisions our generation will potentially ever make’. Ballot Box is a short, satirical comedy that follows the final weeks of the 2016 EU Referendum televised campaign. Set in a London studio flat, two unemployed actresses watch the political pantomime unfold on the box. Originating from opposing backgrounds, the women hold different values, resulting in a hilariously tumultuous relationship. However, on the morning of the referendum result, one of the characters receives tragic news, altering both their lives forever. Ballot Box raises questions about values, friendship, loyalty and overcoming differences. The relationship between the women is a reflection of a split nation facing change and confusion.
