London play examines financial crisis using pile of cash

LONDON: One of the first things people see when they sit down to watch ‘Money the Game Show’ at The Bush Theatre in London is a pile of 10,000 pound coins on the floor of the stage.

Standing by is a security guard to ensure the cash does not go missing over the ensuing 90 minutes during which two "hedge fund managers" guide the audience through the world of derivatives trading and the 2008 financial crisis.
