    Synopsis: In the not too distant future: everybody is registered by a number in one central computer. Jonny Lawler is a young hospital doctor who has worked out a risky but so far effective way of protecting those of his patients who have lost their numbers. But when a colleague calls him in to see the victim of a' car crash, he finds himself unwittingly in conflict with another form of manipulation of the system.

    The ghastly battle with bureaucratic inflexibility will ring true to many (but hopefully with less extreme results). The story is clever, intriguing and has an unexpected Dennis Wheatley element that I found ...well, unexpected!

  • @kimberlykasimoff1447
    @kimberlykasimoff1447 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! And I thought the problem of trying to get someone in the office to tell me what I can have out on my apartment balcony before the fire department comes round and fines me was frustrating. This was really intense! We sometimes have our water shut off for repairs and need to deal with the short inconvenience, but what this married couple went through was extreme. It makes one think about their friends too.

    Just when I thought I was hearing a play for the first time I realise I heard it some years ago! Do you all go to the same place to upload plays?

    • @Jen-cc9xk
      @Jen-cc9xk 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes they just steal from someone who's already uploaded it. That's why it's best to search for the play by name (once you know you're interested in it) and choose the oldest upload, so the original uploader gets the view.
