The RemCo
RemCo chair Judith Clapham is an honourable woman at the rotten heart of the City. Jonathan Maitland's play about the world of Remuneration Committees and executive pay.
Judith Clapham (Deborah Findlay) is an honourable woman at the rotten heart of the City, steering her RemCo as they vote on whether to award an Β£8 million pay award to charismatic CEO, Michael Melman (James Purefoy). Journalist and playwright Jonathan Maitland's new play looks at the controversial world of Remuneration Committees - the bodies that decide on executive pay and bonuses.
Maitland has talked to several members of RemCos and been granted access to confidential minutes. Before now, no writer has been allowed this level of access to what goes on in a RemCo. He has used the details to fashion this drama about a fictional RemCo.
RemCos are the key to understanding one of the most toxic issues of our age: the social and financial inequality caused by grossly excessive pay deals.
