 The
nerve centre of a Newcastle shopping centre during the long boring hours
of the night, the domain of two security guards, both one time
policemen, both watching but what are they actually seeing?
The
premise for an hours entertainment?
Actually Yes!
Awaiting
the new trainee when the stranger arrives but how did he get in? A local
well publicised robbery with the cash in a Burberry holdall, a similar
one to that which is suddenly spotted on the screen in the centre of a
secured deserted mall. Is
it the proceeds from the robbery or could it be a bomb? Well the whole
city is on high alert after terrorist threats. How well do you know your
colleague even after spending months together with nothing to do except
watch monitors, make tea, do the occasional walk round and go to the
toilet?
This
stranger arrives and things change.
Beautifully written by Daniel Maier the play
left me wanting to scream but who was he! The three actors are totally
convincing all through the piece, the performers are Dave Johns, Peter G
Reed and Brendan Patricks
This
is an excellent mystery well worth seeing and one which would make a
great TV play.
