Description: 'Serious Money' is a satirical study of the effects of the 'Big Bang'. Though written in response to specific events, Churchill opens the play with an extract from a 17th century comedy about stock jobbers - little has changed, she suggests, and little will. Since its premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1987 it has prompted city financiers worldwide both to applaud and decry its presentation of their lives. This edition contains an introduction and a chronology of the playwright's life and work.
Notes: Previous ed.: 1990.
