A biting new comedy about the financial perils of a capitalist world. By Kieran Lynn.

Welcome to the Debt Duck, the UK’s premier payday loans company

Tom and Clem are deep in debt. Alan, Tom’s boss, owes big bucks. Meryl, Alan’s manager, is mortgaged to the hilt. They each decide to crack the company safe and put an end to their financial woes. But will they break the cycle of debt? Or is this just another terrible trap?

Omnibus Theatre is delighted to announce the European premiere of acclaimed playwright Kieran Lynn’s new play The Trap. Opening on 31st October and running until the 19th November.

The Trap, was staged first in the US in April this year and follows on from Lynn’s previous comedy Incident at the Border, at the Finborough Theatre, which successfully transferred to the West End.

He has been a member of the Royal Court Young Writers program, the Playwrights Studio Scotland mentoring program, the BBC Sparks Residential Course and the Old Vic 24 Hour Plays. He received the Artists' International Development Fund grant, awarded by the Arts Council England, to bring The Trap to Fort Worth as a world premiere.

Kieran’s play, An Incident at The Border, was performed at the Finborough Theatre, before transferring to the West End. It has subsequently been performed in the United States, India, Israel, and Turkey and broadcast on BBC Radio 4; it was performed at Amphibian Stage Productions under the title Crossing the Line during the 2016 season.
