Kaleider’s The Money®
MUST END SATURDAY 3 JULY
HOW TO PLAY
The Money is a cross between a game and a theatrical experience.
The premise is simple - one section of the audience, called “Players”, have 60 minutes to reach a unanimous decision about how to spend a pot of cash. If they agree, they get to spend it. If not, it rolls over to the next show.
The rest of the audience, called “Silent Witnesses”, watch on, unable to influence the decision making process. BUT, should Silent Witnesses wish to join the action during the show, they can do so by adding a minimum of £20 to the pot (no maximum) and becoming a Player, right up until the last second. And that can change everything.
WHAT TO EXPECT
'A fiendish, clever show that tests your generosity.'
The Daily Telegraph
'Tense, unpredictable and resonant, with the potential for sudden reversals and radical acts of kindness.'
The Stage
The playful premise of this renowned work sets the stage for one of the most memorable conversations you’ll ever have or witness, as altruism butts heads with personal interests, personalities clash and hierarchies are upended
The results may be as taut as a thriller or as ludicrous as a farce, but beneath it all you’ll be asking: are there really any values we can agree upon? Is a common ground the most uncommon thing of all? And ultimately, what is the most interesting thing we can do together that we couldn’t apart?
HOW TO BOOK
There are two ticket types for The Money.
You can choose a Silent Witness ticket and watch, or a Player ticket and take part in the action, coming to a unanimous decision about how to spend a pot of real cash.
If the Players agree unanimously in the time about what to spend the money on, they get to take the money away and spend it. Silent Witnesses can convert to Players during the show by adding a minimum of £20 (no maximum) to the pot.
Silent Witness Tickets £25 | Player Tickets £20
