Dry Powder by Sarah Burgess

If you like a play where the moral of the story is “Everyone is a self-serving asshole,” then this might be the show for you. It takes place in the world of high finance and thus feels a bit like The Invisible Hand without the terrorism. What that ultimately means is that the stakes are not nearly as high. The whole show is about a single deal, how it is going to go down, and whether morals matter, not so much in and of themselves (because it is understood that they do not), but to public perception. The character who openly acknowledges that money is king is amusing in the way of the profoundly tactless, but the fact that her ideas are the ones that win out is as unsurprising as it is despicable.
