Manny dreams of being a big dog – but right now he’s hocking fake designer goods, living with his mum, and dealing with her new boyfriend. The glittery skyscrapers of Canary Wharf he sees out the window every day have never seemed so far.
But when his best friend offers him a way to make money faster than he could ever imagine, he pulls his whole family into a world that’s almost too good to be true.
Wolves on Road is a thrilling deep-dive into the mysterious world of crypto-currency, revealing how ambition and hope can be exploited, no matter the system at play.
Director Daniel Bailey said, ‘I feel doubly blessed. Not only do I get to direct Beru’s brilliant script with a fantastic company of actors at the Bush, but I’ve also been given the opportunity to work with three of the most exciting actors in the UK. Tom and Jamael will bring very different qualities to the role of Devlin and I can’t wait for them to join rehearsals and for us and audiences to discover more.’
