In gritty 1968 East London, Yetta Solomon is the quintessential refugee who survived the un-survivable, then toiled in sweatshops to make her way in the world. Having built a mini-empire out of nothing, she takes no prisoners and suffers no fools. Now the formidable matriarch faces her toughest battle yet, as she presides over warring sons and a younger generation who can’t wait to move on. Determined to protect the legacy of her shop, how far will she go to keep the business in the family and the family in the business?

A hilarious new fiery family drama by Ryan Craig, one of Britain’s hottest playwrights. Ryan Craig grew up in the fourth generation of rubber retailers. Rather than run from his past, he chose to re-imagine it from within. Hysterically funny and historically fascinating, Filthy Business is a towering tribute to the entrepreneurial outsiders who have become the beating heart of every modern society.

Reviews

The ASB season of Filthy Business is the best show that ATC has staged this year.
NBR
Craig's script is fantastic; full of wit and dark humour​
The Theatre Tourist
Ludlam is commanding perfection as the fiery matriarch, taking Yetta's shtick and filling it with equal parts heart and malice.
