MONEY the game show

About

A Bush Theatre and Unlimited Theatre co-production.

Extra performances added! Now showing till 9 March.

Casino and Queenie used to be hedge fund managers. Before the financial crisis of 2008, that is. Now, in an inspired – or desperate – career move, they’ve turned to performance art to share their stories of how to make (and lose) billions from economic downturn.

Playing with £10,000 in real pound coins, you are invited to bet long, short and hedge, as game show hosts Casino and Queenie challenge you to play a series of high stake games that demonstrate how the world’s economic system came to the brink of collapse.

So, risk takers to the front, risk averse to the back. Welcome to MONEY the game show.

The Bush teams up with Unlimited Theatre to take a playful and politically sharp look at the roots of the financial crisis and its ongoing impact, as well as tackling some bigger questions: What is money? What is it worth? And what happens when we stop believing in it?

Alongside MONEY the game show, Unlimited Theatre and the Bush Theatre are offering you the chance to buy a £1 share in the show and see your actual pound on stage. At the end of the show’s tour our shareholders will decide what happens with the cash from the total shares invested. A playful game to start a serious conversation about money.
