Edinburgh International Festival | Festival Theatre – Make It Happen (World Premiere)
James Graham’s biting satire launches with Fred “The Shred” Goodwin’s reckless empire-building, leading the Royal Bank of Scotland into financial oblivion. Sandy Grierson delivers a chilling, nuanced central performance opposite Brian Cox as Adam Smith—an irreverent ghost of fiscal past. Under Andrew Panton’s bold direction, the production blends stylized multimedia, pop-infused choreography, and theatrical melds of drama and satire to mock the hubris-driven collapse that devasted economies in 2008. The ensemble cast embodies figures from Gordon Brown to RBS execs, while the stage pulses with energy and civic reckoning. An unforgettable, unnerving spectacle—New Town meets boardroom carnage.
🇫🇷 Festival international d’Édimbourg | Festival Theatre – Make It Happen (Première mondiale)
Dans cette satire percutante, James Graham raconte la montée et la chute de Fred « The Shred » Goodwin, menant la Royal Bank of Scotland à sa perte. Sandy Grierson incarne avec nuance ce personnage glacé, tandis que Brian Cox prête ses traits à Adam Smith, fantôme moqueur du passé économique. Sous la direction audacieuse d’Andrew Panton, le spectacle marie multimédia, chorégraphies pop et satire pour dénoncer l’arrogance qui a précipité la crise financière de 2008. Un ensemble incarnant Gordon Brown, dirigé par une troupe vive, confronte Edinburgh à son désastre financier. Une expérience dérangeante… et inoubliable.

Here stands Adam Smith — philosopher, economist, and star of the Scottish Enlightenment — towering over High Street in bronze and neoclassical poise. Created by Alexander Stoddart and unveiled in 2008 to mark the 200th anniversary of Smith’s death, the statue depicts him with a plough (agrarian economics), a beehive (industry), and his hand on a globe hidden beneath his academic gown — a gesture nodding to his famous “invisible hand” metaphor .
Smith spent his final years living and writing in nearby Panmure House in the Canongate , and his likeness now stands outside St Giles’ Cathedral, a fitting beacon of marketplace and morality.
Just last week, Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre staged Make It Happen, James Graham’s theatrical send‑up of RBS collapse, where “the ghost of fiscal past” — none other than Adam Smith, played magnificently by Brian Cox — haunts the morally bankrupt Fred Goodwin onstage .

🇫🇷 Adam Smith veille — High Street, Édimbourg
Voici Adam Smith — philosophe, économiste, figure phare des Lumières écossaises — dressé en bronze avec élégance néoclassique sur la High Street. Œuvre d’Alexander Stoddart dévoilée en 2008 à l’occasion du bicentenaire de sa mort, la statue le représente avec une charrue (économie agricole), une ruche (industrie), la main posée sur un globe dissimulé par sa robe académique — clin d’œil à sa métaphore de la « main invisible » .
Smith a passé ses dernières années dans sa résidence de Panmure House, dans le Canongate . Aujourd’hui, sa statue trône devant la cathédrale Saint-Gilles, symbole parfait de la morale inscrite dans l’espace public.
Et la semaine dernière, sur la scène du Festival Theatre, Make It Happen de James Graham envoquait la crise de la RBS — où le « fantôme du passé fiscal » — Adam Smith incarné par le flamboyant Brian Cox — hante magnifiquement le désastreux Fred Goodwin .
