Years and years ago, Hope disappeared. Now, she's back. To find something she left behind. But in the People's Republic of Koka Kola – a world of dwindling resources, corruption and corporate giants – what happens to Hope?

'A theatrical spectacle… Fowler's writing zips off the page' - WhatsOnStage 'A poignant, offbeat satire that unfolds with the daft, disjointed logic of a dream, full of sudden, unlikely plot twists and surreal asides' - The Stage 'Tom Fowler is a writer with a knack for comedy… Hope Has a Happy Meal is part Thelma and Louise, part reverse-Wizard of Oz, balancing wit and nightmares' - GuardianMostra libro
