Summary
Had an accident at work? Tripped on a paving slab? Cut yourself shaving? You could be entitled to compensation. Andrew and Barry at Scorpion Claims, Luton’s finest personal injury lawyers, are the men for you. When Kevin, Andrew’s high school nemesis, appears in his office the opportunity for a quick win arises. But just how fast does a lie have to spin before it gets out of control?
Media
"... it takes us into a world we don't often see on stage: not just of contrived accidents and civil cases conducted on a no-win, no-fee basis, but also of people struggling to make a living." – The Guardian
"... hugely enjoyable." – Financial Times
"Payne touches on questions of class and language, and speaks about the potential for small lies to turn into big dramas." – Evening Standard
"... an assured offering from a playwright who combines shrewd observation with an ability to make us squirm." – Evening Standard
