The Invisible Hand

The Invisible Hand Synopsis

Nominated for the 2022 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate Theatre

You see we are prisoners of a corrupt country that is our own making. But don't pretend you don't participate. You do. Of course you do.

American banker Nick Bright knows that his freedom comes at a price. Confined to a cell in rural Pakistan, every second counts. Who will decide his fate? His captors, or the whims of the market?

Ayad Akhtar is a Pulitzer Prize-winner, two-time Tony Award-nominee and winner of the Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

This newly revised edition of The Invisible Hand is published to coincide with the first major revival at London's Kiln Theatre in July 2021.
