Hizārtū: Persiska (Farsi) 1402

"A racily exciting work that offers the most compelling theatrical study of high finance since Lucy Prebble’s Enron - Guardian "A fizzing play by the ultra-talented Beth Steel… There’s a great vroom vroom to this play, an energy that lifts it out of the ordinary." - The Times 1978, New York. John Anderson is barely out of college and has landed himself a job on Wall Street. His dreams of unimaginable wealth, travel and power are made a reality as he jets around the globe selling loans to developing countries eager to borrow. And there are plenty – Mexico, Brazil, Argentina… But cracks in the banks’ excessive lending strategy soon start to show. Despite the warning signs – and their consciences – John and his colleagues continue to pursue their targets, threatening to leave them all financially, and morally, bankrupt. Labyrinth premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in September 2016.
