NOEL COWARD THEATRE
It may not have succeeded in New York, but it has been a big success here. Final weeks. Don’t miss Lucy Prebble’s fictionalised account of the largest corporate bankruptcy in the history of the world in which 23,000 people lost their jobs, health insurance and retirement plans. Rupert Goold’s brilliant production has a highly theatrical polish. The hedge companies are represented by raptors devouring dollar bills. The Lehmann Brothers are portrayed as Siamese twins in a vaudeville double act. The traders on the floor have been wittily and energetically choreographed by Scott Ambler. Robert Tanitch
