EuroCrash: The Musical

Meet Mark and Gilda – the Hansel and Gretel of Euroland – as they discover the fantasy world of the single currency. Meet Papa Kohl and Madame Mitterrand, the charming couple who hold it all together; meet the Snake, a clanky prototype; Jean-Claude Trichet, the last great eurocrat; the PIIGS, paying for past profligacy; the dark eminence of the mighty Bundesbank; and the wild, exotic currencies of central Europe. With guest appearances by Angela Merkel, David Cameron and François Hollande.

All this packed into a pantomime. Vicious rhymes, great music. From the creators of 2010's sell-out Broke Britannia!

It wasn’t meant to be like this. Those wise men who dreamed up the single currency believed that nations which were once at war would bury their differences and grow ever more closely together. Dream on! The plan, based on a misunderstanding of human behaviour and the nature of markets, was fatally flawed.
