"'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"

This compelling thriller explores the fallout from one the most catastrophic economic crises of modern history, which brought Latin America to its knees for decades

It begins in New York in 1978

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

REVIEWS

"Beth Steel's play about the 1980s Latin American debt crisis is staged with a hurtling energy that propels us through the intricacies of international banking" ~ Michael Billington for The Guardian

"A macabre Day of the Dead carnival runs rampant. It may well be that the play is too much of a lesson, but it's one that patently can't be learnt too often" ~ Paul Taylor for The Independent
