In Northern Thailand, a region of enchantment and vice, Mike and Brian are waiting for Sarah. She is to bring a new passport for Mike to escape the country. But as soon as Mike has the passport, he seems reluctant to leave - and even more reluctant to pay. Instead, he wants Brian to courier heroin for him to London. Brian needs the financial reward offered, but his flight would go via Singapore where the death penalty awaits those who are caught. Sarah urges him not to accept. Brian goes for a walk to think over his decision. During his absence, the true nature of the game is revealed, and the ending is sad and profound, its implications set to reverberate long after Brian`s fate becomes known.

Although written in the early nineties it is still topical today with themes of greed. morality and do the ends justify the means. Having made his name as a comedy writer this was the first of the author`s equally successful thrillers.
First performed on March 13th 1992 in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire and directed by the author. Subsequently won Best New Play at the Letchworth Drama Festival.
