This is my world; I am the king; I make the rules and everyone else can go to hell. This is off-shore.Oxfam estimate that there is $18.5 trillion siphoned out of the world economy into tax havens by wealthy individuals alone. Christian Aid has calculated that 1;000 children die every day as a result of tax evasion. This is not just a political or social challenge: this is a matter of human rights.Islands is an illuminating; absurd and powerful new show about tax havens; little empires; enormous greed; and the few who have it all. Hilarious and unnerving; this ink-black comedy with music plunges you into a monstrous; secretive world where it really seems that no-one has to payhellip;. for anything. Head off-shore and frolic with those who have it all worked out as they feed their addiction to wealth; power and material stuff.The play received its world premiere at the Bush Theatre; London; on 15 January 2015.

Why Would You Want to Read This Book?By QuestorIf you are a playwright; or a budding playwright; you need to read this book. Playwrights understand. Its like being pregnant; only another pregnant woman would really understand. However; non-playwrights can get a lot out of this book as well. GREAT!
