Canary Wharf. As the curtain comes down on the recession, four wildly different bond traders put their limits to the test.

The coarse tactics of top dog Donny are challenged when young, bright Cambridge graduate Spoon arrives and fights to stake his claim in the bank. Savvy young Jess is wrapping clients around her little finger, but seasoned trader PJ lags behind as he struggles to paper over the cracks of a family life in suburbia.

In glass buildings that never sleep, what will it take to shatter the glass ceiling?

Nick Moran will star as ‘Donny’, alongside Michael McKell as ‘PJ’, Lesley Harcourt as ‘Jess’, Timothy George as ‘Spoon’, Melanie Gutteridge as ‘Sandy’, and introducing William Nye as ‘Sean’.

Timothy George co-founded STAMPTheatre in 2015 with Melissa Aston-Munslow, and Roaring Trade is the company’s debut show.

Timothy and Melissa commented, "STAMPTheatre sets out to combine experience with emerging talent. We produce theatre that explores the social expectations placed upon young adults in today’s fast-paced culture. STAMP's founding members are young people with big ideas who hear the confusion of their contemporaries and the feelings of uncertainty for their futures. We are passionately committed to making theatre that is seen through their eyes." Roaring Trade runs from 23 September - 24 October at the Park Theatre
