Eurotrash

Eurotrash adapts Christian Kracht’s bestselling novel into a darkly comic stage journey starring Kathryn Hunter and Ben Whishaw. A blocked writer is summoned to Zurich by his ageing mother, who is barely holding herself together with vodka, pills and designer clothes. With her fortune—built on arms investments and dairy products—stuffed into a bag, the pair set out across Switzerland determined to give it away. Adapted by Colin Teevan and directed by Walter Meierjohann, the production blends an outrageous family road trip with a searching exploration of guilt, memory, redemption and Europe’s troubled history.
