"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.
