About
“Alec, can I ask you a question? And please be honest about it. Have you ever felt the urge to lash out? Anger rising up, blood pumping, eyes shut – an uncontainable need to just act?”
Alec has done something he truly, deeply regrets. He spends his days pouring his guilt into an AI chat bot, obsessively unravelling the consequences of his actions. It was not his fault. Yet why does it feel like it was?
A rotten stench invades his flat: toxic algae climbing the walls, crude oil climbing his throat. He wants to vomit, he wants to purge, he wants to expel this disgusting substance out. A looming presence lurks in the corner of his living room. Staring at him. Smiling. Spreading. Something Alec can no longer ignore.
The Uncontainable Nausea of Alec Baldwin is an absurdist, existential examination of the psychological and physical unravelling of Alec Baldwin – not the real one – as he grapples with a pervasive sense of nausea towards himself and the desensitised digital society he inhabits. Marinating in the violence, complicity, and paradox of modern life, this is a psychedelic multimedia romp into the psyche of a human pushed past breaking point.
A world premiere from TG WORKS.

Company
TG WORKS is a migrant-led, cross-disciplinary experimental theatre company led by Lecoq & RADA-trained artist Tommaso Giacomin. Working through collaborative & highly physical processes, TG WORKS blends new writing, fractured narratives, and multimedia elements to create bold, urgent work that interrogates contemporary socio-political realities. The company champions experimentation where content dictates form and form is constantly questioned, disrupted, and reshaped, creating work that reflects a turbulent world and asks what theatre can - and must - be today.
