In 2016, Pulitzer Prize-winning Ayad Akhtar’s taut political thriller The Invisible Hand received its London premiere at Kiln Theatre (then the Tricycle Theatre) to a rapturous reception. Since then, Brexit negotiations, Trump’s presidency and Biden’s subsequent election, and the pandemic have shifted the dynamics of global politics, and made the play even more timely.
Initially, the geopolitics of the global economy sounds like a dry topic for a play but in Akhtar’s fiendishly clever hands, this revival at the same venue, is a riveting exploration of the nature of greed and power in an increasingly complex world.
