World Premiere

From the director of West End hit Red Pitch, Daniel Bailey, comes this thrilling deep-dive into the mysterious world of cryptocurrency.


“I think your son just made ten thousand pounds…”

Manny dreams of being a big dog – but right now he’s hocking fake designer goods, living with his mum and putting up with her new boyfriend. The glittery skyscrapers of Canary Wharf he sees out the window every day have never seemed so far away.

But when his best friend offers him a way to make money faster than he could ever imagine, he pulls his whole family into a world that’s almost too good to be true.

Wolves on Road is a thrilling deep-dive into the mysterious world of cryptocurrency, revealing how ambition and hope can be exploited, no matter the system at play.

The cast includes Alma Eno (Small Island), Hassan Najib (Dune: Part Two), Ery Nzaramba (Othellomacbeth) and Kieran Taylor-Ford (For Black Boys…). The role of Devlin will be played by Jamael Westman (Hamilton), Hammed Animashaun (Black Ops) and Tom Moutchi  (Barbershop Chronicles) for two weeks each.

This fast, funny and furious world premiere from Beru Tessema (House of Ife) is directed by Bush Theatre’s Associate Artistic Director, Daniel Bailey (Red Pitch, August in England), in a co-production with Tamasha.

This production is generously supported by Charles Holloway.

Charles Holloway OBE: From West London to the West End

Benedict Lombe’s play Shifters transferring from the Bush Theatre to the West End was a milestone moment: for the artists involved, the audiences they engaged, and the future of British theatre it will inspire.
