Crash is a contemporary, satirical comedy, probing the feelings
behind and reaction to the economic crisis and the people who
caused it. The play follows a reunion of sorts, but on the basis of
the characters' current situations, their common ground is at best
elusive. Nick is a Securities Trader for Goldman Sachs and
collector of art. Humphrey is an artist with ethics and a cheque
he's not sure he should cash. And Christine is the beautiful girl
they both loved, but Humphrey married. All together again, in
Nick's Elizabethan mansion, getting ready to celebrate the
unveiling of a new sculpture. But under the surface Humphrey is
angry. Angry in the same way that the whole world is angry, angry
about how people like Nick seem to have got away with causing a
financial meltdown that affected everyone, but still manage to bank
their bonuses. William Nicholson is the Tony and Academy award
nominated author of Shadowlands and screenwriter on Gladiator and
Elizabeth: The Golden Age as well as an acclaimed novelist. His new
play seethes with the fury of a nation duped, alongside some sharp
political humour about art, Collateralised Debt Obligations and
ramblers. Published to coincide with its world premiere at the West
Yorkshire Playhouse, 16 October - 13 November 2010.
