Trade is the newest ensemble creation from production company Hurrah Hurrah.
Trade is inspired by the life ofJérôme Kerviel, a French trader who was convicted for breach of trust, forgery and unauthorized use of bank computers. His loss of€5 billion was the main source of inspiration for Trade, a dark and hilarious exploration into the immense wealth of five financiers and the threat of that wealth when they are forced to face their own guilt. Trade is an intriguing look at the way we value money, and how it doesn’t always correlate to happiness.
Trade will play at the Old 505 Theatre from Tuesday May 12 – Sunday May 17.
