Dry Powder by Sarah Burgess

A razor-sharp comedy about the people who shape and skew the economy.

'Pretty capital… refreshing and provocative'

* Daily Mail *

'Has a hint of early David Mamet in its ability to both critique the corporate ethos and spring narrative surprises… suggests there is something rotten in the state of contemporary capitalism'

* Guardian *

'A deliciously dark comedy… sharply provocative and dangerously funny'

* Broadway World *

'A slyly wicked comedy… it is barkingly funny, and has at its heart not some jejune fury at "fatcats" but a serious observation: it is about the distinction between the warm breath of business – creating objects, services, value – and the icy mathematical chill of those who finance it… pitiless mirth and Swiftian wit'

* TheatreCat *

'A coruscating satire that pokes fun at the private equity community, while barely covering its gleeful subtext about the joys of living in the United States while Donald Trump is in his presidential pomp… funny, savvy and deeply cynical'

* British Theatre Guide *

'Frighteningly funny… timely play'

* Variety *

'Burgess writes smart dialogue that crackles'

* Deadline *
