Overview

The world is crumbling, and everything must be repaid. During the cryptocurrency investment frenzy, Jarvis and a group of Wall Street elites founded a crypto exchange. In a very short time, the platform became one of the world's highest-valued financial institutions due to immense market hype. However, as global shocks such as elections, pandemics, and wars hit the market, those once-massive profits turned into endless debt overnight. The market craved the next Warren Buffett, but instead, it got a modern-day Madoff.

Highlights

"The Great Debt" is a dark narrative about the disillusionment of ideals. Spanning a decade of turbulent times—from Brexit to the US-Iran conflict—the play deeply analyzes how noble visions can become fragile and crumbled in the face of changing eras and capital greed. Through a masterfully crafted script, the audience is invited to deeply contemplate the future when everything around us feels precarious.
