One Box Factory in Kilmarnock, Two Lovelorn Supercomputers, Three Bored Boxpackers, and 12 shopping days till Christmas. In the sleek world of Internet Retail, someone still has to lick the stamps, and tape up the parcels. A frenetic black comedy covered in sticky tape and bubble wrap. P@ckers is an anti-panto for the 21st Century, the story of an overqualified, unskilled, labour force moving boxes in a warehouse in the suburbs of Glasgow, propelled by a wish to see the latest must-have Christmas gifts before they hit the shelves. Into this world comes a young policewoman, sent to investigate Shopless.com. For a man has died, after seeing something nasty on a tape of The Sound of Music - The Director's Cut, a video which is winging its way to every household in the country.
