    A really fascinating exploration of capitalism gone wrong and, shall we say, "naked" ambition? Bancroft is, by all accounts, a detestable character, but he's also a fascinating one as well. With that, you give an actor a tremendous part to play and a short story that will give its audiences much to chew over in terms of what we accept in our current world reality. The relationship between Chen and Bancroft is just intriguing as well. If this leads to further development, I am really interested to see where the story would go!

    What a deliciously evil, yet subtle Manager excuse me, 'Ruler of the World' Mr Bancroft is, a fantastic character. And dutiful Chen serves him loyally.
    Both characters would provide great riles for their actors and I would lovebto see this staged.
    Although I do believe Mr Bancroft will get what's coming to him eventually!
    Unique and brilliant!
