NT Live: A Small Family Business

From the National Theatre's 2014 season of live recordings direct from the London stage, Alan Ayckbourn's story of entrepreneurial greed (returning to the National where it premiered in 1987).

"Jack McCracken: a man of principle in a corrupt world. But not for long. Moments after taking over his father-in-law’s business he’s approached by a private detective armed with some compromising information. Jack’s integrity fades away as he discovers his extended family to be thieves and adulterers, looting the business from their suburban homes. Rampant self-interest takes over and comic hysteria builds to a macabre climax." (NT Live)
