Red Pole Rising

The 2010 Worldplay season is an annual collection of plays from broadcasters around the world, all based on one theme.

This year’s theme is money and the plays have been made by BBC World Service and broadcasters in Australia, New Zealand, America, Canada and Ireland.

Set in the multicultural world of urban gangsters, this fast-paced, dark comedy starts with the words, "It's not about the money." But, of course, it is.

Ian Weir is a writer of stage, television - and radio and is currently launching his first novel in London.

Director: Kathleen Flaherty, CBC, Canada
