Wealth
A New Comedy by Aristophanes
Adapted by Mark France

Contains strong language and material which may offend.
Chremylus has a question... Why be poor but honest when crime always seems to pay...? The God of Wealth, blinded by Zeus to spite mortals, cannot see who truly deserves his gift... but what if his sight was restored...?

Icabod bring their own inimitable style and energy to this rare comedy by Aristophanes. Newly adapted by Mark France, it wickedly satirises society’s obsession with money, status and consumption.

Corruption, crime, poverty and the exploitation of others in the pursuit of financial gain combine with a healthy dose of slapstick and a smattering of scatological humour to make an irresistibly funny night at the theatre.
