London theatregoers got a taste of the (frequently foul) language of the trading floor last month when a new play opened at the City?s Bridewell Theatre.
Set in New York, Burleigh Grimes chronicles the rise and fall of its eponymous hero.
Grimes and his employees are stereotypical bankers. At work, they live by Grimes?s Gordon Gekko-esque maxims (?Rumours are the new truth? and so on). Off duty, they drink, gamble, and letch.
Grimes gets rich through pump-and-dump schemes, using a tame TV journalist to talk up shares he has bought.
