Righteous Money

Two suited men stand beside a video camera against a projected world map.

After a sold-out run in New York City and critical acclaim at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, New York theatre company Wolf 359 bring their hit show RIGHTEOUS MONEY to Dublin. Dishing out advice on deal making, stock buying and sleeping with your assistant, a sexually rapacious and insanely rich TV provocateur takes on love and the tanking economy. In this hilarious solo tour de force, host CJ takes us on a tour of distressed investing, and the inside of the banker’s soul, all in a quest to make Righteous Money. But what begins as a send-up of financial gurus and shady I-bankers becomes a searing exploration of the fiscal crisis and the possibility of finding love among the ruined mortgages.
