"The Moneygoround is a one-man show documenting a character facing the challenging circumstances of making an album under extreme pressure," Davies explains. "This play, similar to a psychodrama, follows the ups and downs of the character as he plays out events in his life. He confronts the dark forces surrounding him after falling into an emotional and financial 'hole' eventually he is saved by a song after confiding in his friend, Lola."
