THE INVISIBLE HAND - Play Reading

THE INVISIBLE HAND

by Ayad Akhtar

Live streamed rehearsed reading

Sold Out

American banker Nick Bright knows that his freedom comes at a price. Confined to a cell within the depths of rural Pakistan, every second counts. Who will decide his fate? His captors, or the whims of the market?

Ayad Akhtar (Homeland Elegies) is a Pulitzer Prize-winner, two time Tony Award-nominee and winner of the Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His tense, thrilling and ‘fiendishly clever’ (Financial Times) The Invisible Hand, lays bare the raw, unfettered power of global finance. Kiln Theatre’s Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingham’s ‘brilliantly executed’ (Daily Mail), ‘palpitating production’ (WhatsOnStage) went on to play to sold out houses in 2016.

Rubasingham revises the play once again, in a rehearsed reading that will be live streamed for free.
