The Temple

It’s the 1980s, that decade when Gordon Gecko pronounced greed to be good. Laurie Blake is of the same mind. An entrepreneur, he’s making the most of every opportunity: screwing over anyone for a buck, schmoozing with the rich and powerful-and somehow capturing the public’s imagination. Surely this isn’t going to go wrong?

A multi-award-winning satire about greed which just never seems to go out of style, The Temple was first performed in 1993, and was chosen as the Best New Australian Play in the Victorian Green Room Awards, won the ALS Gold Medal and Louis Esson Prize for Drama.
