A sobering monologue, Andy Duffy’s play tells of a risk-taking stock market trader (Jamie Michie) whose personal life is a train wreck to match the financial crash of 2008. Michie describes both aspects of the character’s life with equal emotional detachment, making an interesting point, but, in so doing, he leaves the whole piece feeling dull and rambling. A disappointment.
