The stripped-down production stars Adam Godley, Simon Russell Beale, and Ben Miles as the only speaking characters for the entire duration of the show.
WHEN Simon Russell Beale, Ben Miles, and Adam Godley greet one another in the echoing spaces of an empty restaurant in London’s National Theatre, it’s all of a sudden like being at a family reunion.
Like Mendes, Massini had been captivated by the story of the Lehman bankruptcy and, more broadly, the “machinery of capitalism,” as Power puts it. Power went to see Massini at his home outside Florence when he was halfway through his first draft. “I had a huge list of questions and things I didn’t understand,” Power remembers. “He was generous and entertaining, full of stories and extra material. . . . It was more like adapting a nondramatic text than translating a play.
“It’s never felt so important to be questioning the economic systems that run our societies,” says Power“That’s one of Sam’s many gifts; he gets rid of stuff that isn’t actually necessary,” says Miles. Designer Es Devlin’s glass cube of a set, representing a 21st-century office, was there from the start, but it was initially full of props such as watercoolers and whiteboards.
From the very first night in London, the play was acclaimed. “It makes for a remarkable evening, which offers a kaleidoscopic social and political metaphor while reminding us that one of the reasons we go to the theater is to watch superb acting,” wrote Michael Billington in. “It’s not quite like anything you’ve seen before,” wrote Dominic Maxwell in the U.K.
