Directors' Cuts 2017 - Iceland

By Nicholas Billon - Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Directors' Cuts Season 2017.

Set against the backdrop of the global financial crisis of 2006, the lives of three strangers are brought together through a bizarre chain of events.

Kassandra is a university student who works as an escort at night; Annais a devout Christian whose connection to the world is largely through friends on the internet and Halim is a young deal-making estate agent. But how are the three actually connected – and what has that got to do with Iceland?

Winner of the Governor General’s Award – Canada’s top playwriting prize, this dark and funny play explores the nasty underbelly of our global financial system, and the ways it can transform our lives.
