represent., a new company with the aim of increasing access to the industry for those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, have today announced the world premiere of Money by Isla van Tricht, a digital production in partnership with Southwark Playhouse. 

The production invites audiences to interact with, and determine the outcome of a charity as it grapples with the ethics of accepting a large donation from a questionable source. The show will open the company’s reimagined inaugural season with a repertory company. The season also includes Stephen Jeffreys Interruptions and Isley Lynn’s Albatross. 

Money will star Mel Giedroyc in a cameo role as Jennifer Anders, the CEO of the ethically dubious, highly successful Anders Corporation whose foundation have granted the donation. Aaron Douglas, Sarel Madziya, Loussin-Torah Pilikian, Nemide May and Adam Rachid Lazaar will also star. 

Creative Director of represent., Guy Woolf, said: “Last year we were all raring to go with our first season. But one week into rehearsals, the world stopped. Since then we have continued our commitment to our company with a variety of workshops and R&D’s; one ACE-funded with director Karen Tomlin on Ira Aldridge’s The Black Doctor, and the other on Money, which has become our company’s debut production. We commissioned Isla van Tricht to write the piece for a virtual and interactive production in which our audiences are put right in the heart of a timely ethical dilemma that confronts capitalism, philanthropy and a group of people doing their best.”

Money will be available to stream from 26 April - 15 May via Zoom, with tickets available here.
