Rough Haired Pointer presents
BLOOD CROSSED
by Gareth Cadwallader
Ladies.
Gentleman. Are your loins girded? Because we are
going to war. We are the right hand of the God of
Vengeance. Strike hard. Strike fast. Stand together.
Your instructions and trading limits are in your
in-trays now. Get to it.
Nominated as City Personality of the Year,
super-star trader Seb Gross intoxicated with greed
and ambition is getting ready for the biggest deal
of his life.
But his betrayed, old friend Bennett and spurned
lover Marcia are waiting in the wings to bring him
down. When Seb finds himself falling in love with
the unbending and stunningly beautiful Head of
Compliance, Deborah Rezillo he leaves himself
vulnerable to revenge. Get ready for blood on the
trading floor in this Jacobean tragedy set in the
City's most profitable bank.
Blood Crossed will be presented over three weeks;
the weeks in between performances are used to
further develop the work, learning from the
rehearsals, audience engagement and peer feedback.
Come along and take a chance to see how a play is
developed and to have your say about how it will
turn out!
