The Merger tells the harrowing (and increasingly familiar) story of a family-owned business, newly acquired by a private equity firm, and the mayhem—and suspense—that ensues. Gone are the days when entrepreneurs started businesses to grow and hand down to their children or sell before retirement. Today, the trend is to flip businesses as soon as possible, for maximum profit and to the advantage of a handful of investors, often at the expense of the workers.
Cast:
There are 11 individual characters —creatives and (vs.) business side, including editors, art directors, marketing, HR, etc. — and a series of three CEOs/saviors who must be played by the same actor.
