The Economist

Overview

Controversial, uncompromising, riveting. “The Economist” is the first play written as a response to the massacre that took place on Utoya Island, Norway. Inspired by Anders Breivik’s journal, this disturbing and entertaining play portrays the worst depths of the human psyche.

Andrew has been having nightmares. He’s been doing everything he can to stop them. World of Warcraft. Neo-fascism. Plastic surgery. When the girls next door starts coming around, it seems like maybe they’ll stop. But then again...

“Disarmingly imaginative... superbly acted” – The Australian.

Adapted for the stage by playwright Tobias Manderson-Galvin of Melbourne’s MKA: Theatre of New Writing.
