The ultimate seduction, Other People’s Money, this evening opens a month-long weekend run at the Pico Playhouse from the InterACT Theatre Company, near Rancho Park.
A perfectly timed suspenseful comedy for election season. Jerry Sterner’s play brings a humorous yet heartfelt look at loyalty, tradition, and corporate raiders. Winning the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play, it is a timeless story.
Other People’s Money, which opens tonight at 8 o’clock, runs on Fridays and Saturdays at 8, and Sundays at 3 through Nov. 20, at the Pico Playhouse, 10508 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles 90064.
“Funny, serious, suspenseful, involving, disturbing, and above all, expertly crafted. It is the most stimulating kind of entertainment,“ wrote John Simon in New York magazine.
“Other People’s Money is much more than a discussion of the moral ambiguity of business. It’s the story of five lives, the fate of a town, and whether or not decency will prevail over expediency…most importantly, should it? The story presents the debate of whether or not it is right to try to hold back change. This electoral season forces us to see how the evolution of the American economy has created winners and losers, and this play brilliantly asks how we feel about that,” says director Oliver Muirhead
