I went to see Roaring Trade at Soho Theatre on Saturday, which was the last night of a 4 week run.
Perfectly timed in terms of relevance, the play highlights city excesses and the stress of risky make-or-break deals. It was brilliant - the credible script, strong cast of 6 and realistic characters made for a thoroughly engaging 2 hours and I was disappointed when the lights came up.
If it tours or comes back in the West End, everyone must go see it. I'm surprised it's not recognised at the Olivier Awards. I'm going to see Steve Thompson's next play, as apparently he excels in the nitty-gritty office drama field; I just hope he doesn't foretell another future crisis.
