IN a world where emails and social media follow us around on our phones, is the digital world we live in changing the way we work, ask The Knotted Project in The Commuters at the York Theatre Royal Studio on Friday night.

"How do we measure success? Money in the bank? Time on our hands? Smiles?" ponder writer-directors Simon McElligott and Natalie Morrell as they follow a group of friends, constantly hired and fired, stuck in the void between their bank balances and their diminishing social lives.

Caught in a battle against nightmare bosses, ill-fitting suits and their social-media history, will they ever find the illusive work-life balance? Does it even exist? Using the words of real people, dynamic choreography and projection, The Commuters asks that age-old question: do we live to work or work to live?

Tickets for Friday's 7.45pm performance are on sale on 01904 623568 or at yorktheatreroyal.co.uk.
