Phil has reached a crisis point in his life. Deep in debt, with a nasty cold, he spends his lunchtimes feeding the ducks, while his plant-mad wife spends her money in the Pound Shop. But everything changes when Phil meets a strange girl in the park who offers him the chance of excitement - and much needed cash. Her Nan doesn't trust banks, she tells him. She could lend him the money and no one need ever know anything was wrong. How far would you go if you were disillusioned and in debt? Phil, a modern day Faustus, succumbs to temptation in this dark comedy for the Recession. Infinite Riches received its debut in May 2012 at the Old Red Lion Theatre, London.
