The Invisible Hand by Ayad Akhtar
We are prisoners of a corrupt country of our own making 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? Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar has written an intense, fast-moving political thriller, which lays bare the raw, unfettered power of global finance. The Invisible Hand received its world premiere at the New York Theatre Workshop on 8 December 2014 and its UK premiere at the Tricycle Theatre, London, on 12 May 2016.
