      Foreword from Director Emma Callander

      Crash had me gripped from the moment I began to read it. The play landed on my desk through Open Submissions at the Traverse Theatre and I instantly knew we had come across an important story told by a unique Scottish voice. Andy Duffy has created a fascinating and disturbing character who challenges our sense of empathy right up until the final words he speaks. Is this a man suffering from insurmountable guilt, heightened by the extreme pressures of working in the financial market, or is he so emotionally detached that he has lost all sense of humanity? In the telling of such a deeply intimate story the play also raises complex questions around the morality of capitalism and the philosophy of human existence within the free market. In the continuing wake of the 2008 financial crisis, stories of culpability in the banking industry still fill our newspapers daily. Crash offers a provocative insight into an individual experience which challenges us to identify where we sit within the wider debate on where the ultimate responsibility lies.
