LOOKING for another chance to shock and delight audiences in and around Euroland!
FIVE years since the euro crisis began, and three years since this play had its premiere, the woes of the single currency have not gone away.
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.
