  • Additional information

A young entrepreneur sets out on a quest for wealth with priceless ambition and a purse of gold.

Bruce Norris’s play The Low Road is a startling fable of free-market economics and cut-throat capitalism. It was premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in March 2013.

‘What a play… rich, turbulent and satirical’
— Guardian

‘A romping, sprawling barnstormer’
— The Times

‘A roguish mix of Henry Fielding and Bertolt Brecht… laudably ambitious in scope and playful in style’
— Financial Times

‘A punchy piece about the excesses of capitalism… plenty of stinging lines’
— Evening Standard
