Synopsis: | In an Edinburgh community centre, on the first day of January, 2002, a group of activists gather for a meeting. Dougal, their leader, is missing. He may be in prison, or on the run, or working as a police informer. The group explore the possibilities, and look for clues. Then Rory arrives. A new recruit, or possibly a spy? In the shadow of 9/11, it's hard to be sure what's real, or who to trust. Can they work together, in the future? Or is the war on terror too big, too black to deal with? Gradually, the group splits up, and only with the final dialogue do we grasp what has been happening, and guess at what's to come. | |||||

The play is set in Morton and Foster, an accountancy firm in the age of Enron. Tom Morton and Jim Foster are the old guard, who have had to adapt to new ways. Jan and Sadiq are the younger generation, eager to succeed. When the possibility of a partnership comes up, they both have tough decisions to make. How much do they want this promotion, and what exactly will it cost? | |||||

Synopsis: | Darren is an ex-army man who thinks he's had a bad deal, but he isn't sure about what he wants. Gradually, we find out more about what he's done and how he's been treated. He takes a random group of strangers hostage, and by the end of a tense day they have learnt more about each other and themselves. All of them are gripped by the mounting tension which builds during the play, intensified by pressures from outside. This is a suspense story, but also a study of changing relationships which offers challenging possibilities to an ensemble cast. | |||||
