'Thrillingly inventive... the performers are cracking; and the writing is raw, rage-filled and compassionate. So much soaring talent is, even in these doom-laden days, cause for optimism.'
**** The Times

'Theatre can respond to contemporary events far more quickly than most art forms.... Nifty Soho has got there first, though, with an appealingly low-budget evening of 10 short pieces... Delightful'
**** Evening Standard

'Startlingly close to truthful... What the plays explore is the human response to the crisis: something I think the news media has found hard to do.'
BBC Newsnight's Paul Mason. To read the full article, click here.

'You have to admire the Soho's readiness to grapple with the global fiscal fiasco... "It's hard to talk about a thing in the middle of a thing," says a character in Eno's piece. But the show itself proves that is actually the best time.'
The Guardian

'Nippily delivered by a versatile cast on an appropriately threadbare set of packing cases, this is an astute and uplifting response to the current gloom and uncertainty.'
Financial Times

'This fictive riposte to the global financial crisis hums with vibrant currency... there's a distinct tang of urgency about this insightful and honest collection that lends it a lingering, vital appeal.'
Metro

When the economy bites, Soho writers bite back.

Writers. Actors. An empty space. Some of Soho's most exciting talents take on the economic crisis, creating provocative and playful bargain basement theatre. 

Each evening of bite-sized treats features an economy song cycle by Steve Thompson, mortgage magic from Marisa Carnesky, spoken word from Maxwell Golden (with original music productions by danbeat) and new shorts from Kay Adshead, Bola Agbaje, Oladipo Agboluaje, Megan Barker, Will Eno, Ron McCants and Paula B. Stanic. There will also be a soundwalk from Duncan Speakman where you and a partner set off on a brief promenade from Soho Theatre armed with mp3 players and finally, a late-night greed-based gambling game in the bar.

With Jimmy Akingbola, Ron Donachie, Edward Hughes, Jo Martin and Lara Pulver.

Find out more about the writers, including their thoughts and experiences of the economic crisis, on our iLeonardo notebook here.
