About
Against all odds, recent graduate Sofia gets a job as PA to one of the wealthiest bankers in the country. But her mother questions whether she gave more than a good interview to get it.
While the unapologetic bankers get rich, others are losing everything they've worked for. Just what will they be driven to? Suicide? Murder? In a subtle game of cat and mouse, split loyalties and conflicting morals, Alexandra Wood's thrilling and darkly funny new play looks at the complexities of a mother-daughter relationship, the growing gap between rich and poor, and a young woman stuck in between.
Alexandra Wood's previous plays include an adaptation of Jung Chang's Wild Swans (Young Vic/American Repertory Theater); The Initiate (Paines Plough); The Empty Quarter (Hampstead Theatre) and The Eleventh Capital (Royal Court).
