Description With piercing images and vignettes to make you think differently, DV8's The Cost of Living is a mixture of the shattering, the hilarious and the deeply affecting. The juxtaposition of humour and horror gives the production its edge. Director Lloyd Newson has worked with a diverse cast including a man with no legs, a woman in her 70s and an overweight man.
