There’s a £25,000 truck in the middle of the stage and 12 contestants are holding onto it.  The truck goes to the last person standing.  It usually takes eight or nine days to get a winner.

Enter the world of endurance contests, as we condense 80 hours of action from one of the most bizarre competitions ever dreamed up into 80 minutes of interactive, ‘live competition’ theatre.

‘Touch The Truck’ competitions spread across the USA like wildfire, promising spectators the chance to witness gruelling pain alongside utter lunacy, induced by hours without sleep.

Stand By Your Van is a brand new, innovative play by Anna Reynolds… with a different winner every night!
