The Bush theatre has teamed up with Unlimited Theatre to create MONEY The Game Show, a playful and politically sharp look at the roots of the financial crisis and its ongoing impact.

Before the 2008 financial crisis, Casino and Queenie were hedge fund managers. Now they’ve turned to performance art to share their stories of how to make and lose billions from economic downturn.

Playing with 10,000 real pound coins, game show hosts Casino and Queenie invite the audience to bet long, short and hedge in a series of high stake games that demonstrate how the world’s economic system came to the brink of collapse.
