Offending the Audience is an experimental, anti-play written by David Handke in 1966. There is no actual plot and the play continues while the 20 actors direct the attention on the audience. This non-conventional, minimalistic production lies on irony and aims to lure the audience to be a part of the play.

White space is used in parallel with the play’s bare stage. The shock that the audience will probably experience is visualized with the comic like, sharp bubble.
