A Cool Million, written in 1934, is a brutally deadpan comedy and jaw-droppingly vicious satire of the American Dream. Three vaudeville performers - equipped only with three chairs, a ukulele, a mandolin and a kazoo - create the epic story of an impoverished yet eternally optimistic young man who sets out to make his fortune. Big city grifters; fluttering heroines; carnival hustlers; corrupt cops, lawyers and politicians; gold diggers; sinister foreigners; the entire Youth of America - 76 characters in 75 minutes! With songs!| 27 Oct 15 to 14 Nov 15 | Jack Studio Theatre (previously Brockley Studio Theatre) Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
