Behold the rise, fall and fail of the biggest bank in the world – The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).

At the helm is Fred 'The Shred' Goodwin, armed with an unshakeable belief in the wisdom of the ‘founder of modern capitalism’, Adam Smith. The once prudent RBS soars and then plummets, placing Scotland at the heart of the global financial crash of 2008.

Set in Edinburgh, Make It Happen sees legendary actor Brian Cox return to the Scottish stage for the first time in a decade as Adam Smith, the ghost of fiscal past. Following his outstanding portrayal of the title character in Lanark at the International Festival, Sandy Grierson takes on the role of Goodwin. Written by James Graham (Sherwood, Dear England), hailed as one of the most influential and finger-on-the-pulse writers of our time, and directed by the award-winning Andrew Panton, this epic new satire delves into the unchecked growth, spiralling greed and nail-biting hubris that brought the world’s economy to its knees.

Take your seat for this unmissable drama; decadence, world-domination and a dizzying descent await.

This is a fictionalised satire, featuring a mixture of characters and incidents inspired by real-life events, with others entirely imagined.
