Scooter Pietsch’s hilarious and chaotic new comedy, Windfall, will run at London’s Southwark Playhouse from 9 February-11 March 2023, following a critically acclaimed run in New York earlier this year.

Pushed to the edge by their maniacal boss, five downtrodden office workers decide to risk it all on a $500million lottery ticket in the hope of a better life.

Co-workers become accomplices, lovers become rivals, and friends become enemies as the prospect of winning brings out the very worst in everyone.Just how far will they go to have it all?

It is directed by Mark Bell, best known for directing The Play That Goes Wrong (2015 Olivier Award Winner for Best New Comedy, 2015 Broadway World UK Award Winner for Best New Play & 2014 WhatsOnStage Award Winner for Best New Comedy). He also directed the West End hit The Comedy About a Bank Robbery which was nominated for an Olivier Award and ran at The Criterion theatre for over four years. His latest show Cluedo, a new comedy based on the 1985 film Clue, toured the UK earlier this year.

The production has set and costume design by Rachel Stone, with lighting by Robbie Butler.
