Joe Sellman-Leava and Dylan Howells embark on a quest to uncover how the economy wins elections, and why the force that dominates our lives is so bloody complicated! Armed with bags, boxes and an old board game, Joe and Dylan calculate how their lives have been shaped by the economies they grew up in. Developed with and directed by internationally acclaimed Katharina Reinthaller, and produced by Worklight Theatre, It's the Economy Stupid is a bold new show from the Fringe First winning creators of Labels and Fanboy.

Playbill, 23rd July 2024Theatre At The Fringe - It's the Economy, Stupid!
"It's the Economy, Stupid! is a two-hander about the way economics shapes elections, and the cost of low-financial literacy in wealthy - but unequal - countries, like the UK."
Phoenix Remix, 16th July 2024EdFringe Talk: It's the Economy, Stupid!
"I definitely learned from that Fringe was to pace myself and rest more - I'll be sure to do that this year!"
Dan Lentell, Get Your Coats On, 16th July 2024Edinburgh Interview: Joe Sellman-Leava on It's The Economy, Stupid!
"We use stage magic as a kind of metaphor for money in the economy. This invisible thing that we invented that has a very real effect on the world and our own lives."
Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly, 4th July 2024Performances
