About

THE PLAY: EASY MONEY By Roger Hall

Directed by Teresa Sullivan

A comedy plot driven farce loosely based on Ben Johnson’s Jacobean Tale The Alchemist, set in the current day. A laugh a minute tale of greed, described by Hall as having “no moral, no message – just entertainment”

An Australian couple is based in a swanky Auckland harbourside Airbnb, armed with a loose plan to shake down as many self-satisfied cashed-up “neighbours” as possible; in the hope of a quick payday and an early retirement. All about greed and how a fool and their money are soon parted; with double crosses, dirty tricks and dodgy dealings….It’s so audacious, you can see the dollar signs flickering in the eyes of their marks.
