Caryl Churchill's Serious Money is an excellent exposition of her observation of the relation between capitalism and human greed. As a proclaimed socialist, Churchill sees how profoundly men are affected by economic situations, particularly when it comes to a purely capitalistic economy. Some of her plays such as Owners, Fen and Top Girls are indeed devoted to the very issue of the economic influence on peoples' lives.
Churchill saw many quite capitalistic changes the Tory party led by the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher brought to the U.K. with disapproving eyes. Various public welfare programs were either privatized or scaled down or totally disappeared. Restructuring, mass lay-offs, and labor disputes were inevitable as the Thatcher government tried to put the American free-market economy into practice in Britain. The opening of the London stockmarket in October, 1986, offered a perfect occasion for Churchill to touch upon the nature of capitalism and explore its influence on people in depth. This event, so-called Big Bang, reformed the London stockmarket into the London International Financial Futures Exchanges(LIFFE) and international funds literally flooded into London market. What Mandel predicted in his Late Capitalism or Jameson defined as "multinational capitalism" occurred in reality.
No longer a genteel society, the LIFFE saw a new breed of people. For young, aggressive, opportunity-hungry people flocked into the market to make their share of fortune. Many people made a lot of money, particularly those people from the lower-classes, women, and Americans who could not have chance to acquire material wealth in traditional ways. Churchill's Serious Money captures these people and draws them as caricatures sometimes poignantly, sometimes broadly, sometimes realistically, sometimes fantastically, sometimes tragically, often comically. All the characters in this play blatently display their greed for more money and material. They are so completely egotistical and materialistic that any notion of humanity or moral responsibility for others would seem a luxury which they are not capable of dispensing.
This paper mainly examines the characters in order to discuss Churchill's intentions to reveal to the audience what these characters are missing as they blindly pursue money and materialism. She deals with the problematic matter of human greed fed by `pure' capitalism by allegorizing and parodying her characters and by using various methods to evoke Brechtian alienation effect. Thus Churchill successfully achieves her purpose of waking up the audience from the powerful spell of capitalism and materialism in such an intensely economy-oriented play.
