Crash
16 October 2010  to 13 November 2010
Courtyard Theatre

It’s a reunion of sorts, but you’d never guess they ever had anything in common to see them now. Nick – Securities Trader for Goldman Sachs and collector of art. Humphrey – an artist with ethics and a cheque he’s not sure he should cash. Christine – the beautiful girl they both loved, but Humphrey married. All together again, in Nick’s Elizabethan mansion, getting ready to celebrate the unveiling of a new sculpture.

But under the surface Humphrey is angry. Angry in the same way that the whole world is angry, angry about how people like Nick seem to have got away with causing a financial meltdown that affected everyone, but still manage to bank their bonuses.

William Nicholson is the Tony and Academy award nominated author of Shadowlands and screenwriter on Gladiator and Elizabeth: The Golden Age as well as an acclaimed novelist. His new play seethes with the fury of a nation duped, alongside some great jokes about art, Collateralised Debt Obligations and the ramblers.
