A comedy plot driven farce loosely based on Ben Johnson’s Jacobean Tale The Alchemist, set in the current day. A laugh a minute tale of greed, described by Hall as having “no moral, no message – just entertainment”. An Australian couple is based in a swanky Auckland harbourside Airbnb, armed with a loose plan to shake down as many self-satisfied cashed-up “neighbours” as possible; in the hope of a quick payday and an early retirement. It’s about greed and how a fool and their money are soon parted; with double crosses, dirty tricks and dodgy dealings…

It’s so audacious, you can see the dollar signs flickering in the eyes of their marks. (Revised in 2022 to update and change ethnicity)
