A shocking new thriller drama exploring greed and the financial crisis. A British financier and his wife host a lavish dinner party for their affluent American friends. It’s over a year since the two couples were together and they have plenty to talk about. The food is delicious, the conversation animated and dessert is on its way – when, from one second to another, the evening takes a sinister and alarming turn. With dark comic moments and unexpected twists, Dessert, performed at the Southwark Playhouse, written by Oliver Cotton (Daytona, Scrabble) and directed by Trevor Nunn, is a powerful, thought-provoking play about wealth, greed and the lengths people must go to claim what’s theirs.
