Labyrinth

'Three years ago the doomsayers were predicting the end. Financial apocalypse. But the system survived. Because the system works. Time to take advantage of the goodies on offer.'



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.



WONDERLAND, Beth Steel's critically acclaimed second play, opened June 20th 2014 at the Hampstead Theatre on the main stage with Edward Hall directing. WONDERLAND was broadcast live worldwide through the Guardian website, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, an award for best new play in the English language by a female playwright. Beth's first play DITCH premiered at the HighTide Festival before transferring to the Old Vic Tunnels for a six week run. DITCH was shortlisted for the John Whiting Award.
