A Monopoly Game

Conceived and directed by Anastasia Revi

Ground Work Festival, Camden People’s Theatre, 2008

A Monopoly Game devised by Theatre Lab Company explores what could happen amongst those who risk… those who hide and seek… those who meet… a game between a ‘hat’ and a ‘boot’ outside King’s Cross Station or in a cheap hotel on the Old Kent Road…MONOPOLY recalls memories… Wall Street crashed in 1929, and along with it, dreams, wealth, aspirations and hope. Like a game, life is full of errors, it’s unpredictable, and there are too many rules. Such were the thoughts of a man who with a pair of die and an imaginary landscape created a journey to riches and wealth… But what happens to those who risk…who seek…who play? A game between a hat, a boot and a thimble… is a bit like life.
