Daniel Bye: The Price Of Everything

Event Date: 
25/03/2013 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

How much is beauty worth? What will people pay for an air guitar on eBay? Can I have a glass of milk?

These urgent questions and others are answered in The Price of Everything, a performance lecture about value. Daniel Bye's whistlestop tour of bizarre facts and impassioned arguments is occasionally shambolic and often tendentious - but always a joy to watch.

Comic, provocative, and possibly a tiny bit sad, this show is a must if you've ever wondered about the difference between the price of an object and its value.
