Eurotrash

"You think I'm a stupid, heartless old woman? Well we're going to give this money away. Really give it away, get rid of it, squander it...And you're going to help me."

A blocked novelist is summoned to Zurich by his aged mother who is barely keeping it together with vodka, pills and Ferragamo sweaters. Together they embark upon an impromptu journey to giveaway the mother's fortune, amassed from arms investments and dairy products, in order to come to terms with their own and Europe's dark history. With the cash stuffed in a plastic bag, thebickering pair take a chaotic and outrageous road trip through the snowy mountains and valleys of Switzerland.

Starring Kathryn Hunter and Ben Whishaw, Eurotrash, directed by Walter Meierjohann, brings Christian Kracht’s international best-seller, in a new adaptation by Colin Teevan, to the stage. Eurotrash is both a darkly comic travelogue and a poignant search for redemption and connection.
