I forget what the show was called, but it involved the Solomon Islands or somewhere like that and was about money.
On walking in everyone was given an uneual amount of money, from $50 to $5. (It occurred to me later that if he could he might like to have handed out some fines.) So you went to your seat and stared at your money and compared it to everyone else and held it up to the light to see if it was real. Then he spoke for 2 hours telling stories the point of which was that money was what we worship. At the end he told us that in spite of everything he said he actually needed it back to pay his bills, because he had handed us the takings of the night. If we had enjoyed the show we might like to give him that money back and tell our friends.
The best live theatre I have ever seen.
