Roaring Trade

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC World Service OnlineLatest broadcast: on BBC World Service Online

The 2010 Worldplay season is an annual collection of plays from broadcasters around the world, all based on one theme.

This year’s theme is money and the plays have been made by BBC World Service and broadcasters in Australia, New Zealand, America, Canada and Ireland.

Roaring Trade has been described by The Times newspaper in the UK as "the liveliest satire on the city since Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money 20 years ago."

This witty and candid play looks at the personal and professional relationships between traders - and how rivalry in the city can spiral out of hand.

Starring Rhys Thomas (Down the Line; Bellamy’s Law), Claudie Blakley (Larkrise to Candleford), Danny Webb (Land Girls), Joseph Kloska and Annabelle Apsion.

Director: Marion Nancarrow, BBC World Service Show less
