Directed by Jonathan Fox
A Co-production with The English Theater Frankfurt
April 12 – 29, 2018
Set in Pakistan, American investment banker Nick Bright is kidnapped by an extremist organization and held for a $10 million ransom. When his company refuses to meet the terrorists’ demands, Nick convinces his captors that he can manipulate the stock market to meet his own ransom. Capitalism intersects with Islamic fanaticism in a race against time in this heart-pounding thriller by the Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright, novelist, and screenwriter Ayad Akhtar.
“A scary (and dreadfully funny) treatise on the universality of human greed.” Variety
“A taut, gripping thriller.” The Seattle Times
