Serious Money

by Caryl Churchill, directed by Eda Holmes
“Greed is all right. Greed is healthy.
  You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.”
Robin Evan Willis, Ali Momen and Kyle Blair
Serious Money

Serious Money takes a look at the London Stock Market in the 1980s, a place that was like the new Wild West – a land of corporate raiders and stock traders created by a financial boom that seemed to have no end. The Shaw Festival is proud to present this no-holds barred look at corporate greed and financial excess – Caryl Churchill at her most provocative and penetrating.  And all in rhyming verse!
(Strong language)

“The Studio Theatre is home for the second year to programming that takes us outside the mandate with writers who have continued, à la Shaw, to provoke, challenge and question the establishments that run our lives. With her brilliant take-no-prisoners attitude, Caryl Churchill is undoubtedly one of our foremost ‘contemporary Shavians’.” JM

This play is recommended for ages 16+.
