In only three months, the groups worked both independently and collaboratively to devise a piece which let them to look at the personal and political implications of the credit crunch. They then toured it to three north Liverpool community venues.

"It was great! The timing of the comedy was brilliant,
everybody seemed to have a really good time. This is my first time at the
theatre, I’d tell people to go along."
"An excellent collaboration between the third age and youth theatre groups. You can see all the hard work that has gone into it. Loved the interaction between them all and the set up of the show. I'll definitely be singing 'we are bankers not w**kers' for days on end!"
