Synopsis: | London lawyer Hugo and accountant David are on a roll. They're building up, by hook or by crook, a property empire from small beginnings. Even the local bar is within their sights. It's all going according to plan - the properties, the dosh, the bank loans, the legal niceties including bank accounts in the name of Monica, David's girl friend - if only she knew. Hugo's beautiful French civil servant girl friend, Annick, still hopes Hugo will turn out to be the man of her dreams, a chivalrous English Hugh-Grant type. Little does she know. But then hit man Max wants to become his own boss in the global market place. And when David loses his mobile phone and a cowardly small-time property-owning pensioner turns out to be one adversary too many, things will never be the same again. As Jan the barman observes to the audience, it's a 21st century tale but, with the wheel of fate turning like the London Eye, how will it all end? | |||||

Paul, Zoe and Amanda think they're victims of the Credit Crunch - they got found out! 'It's only when the tide goes out that you discover who's been swimming naked.' Warren Buffett, billionaire investor.

Emma Keens, City AM March 31 2009. "Ponzi-scheming Paul Stone, who fleeces his customers and friends and gets away with it until, to paraphrase Warren Buffett, the economic tide goes out and he emerges in the altogether" Jim Armitage, London Evening Standard, April 3 2009. http://www.swimmingnaked.webs.com | |||||
