Throwing Stones

Synopsis:
THROWING STONeS' explores the decline of adam Lazenby, a successful society and art photographer, when portraits of children he has made are found to have been distributed by an Internet paedophile ring and he becomes the subject of police investigations. He protests his innocence, claiming the images have been manipulated, but as the police, social workers and tabloid reporters delve into his life, even those closest to him start to have their doubts. His professional life falls apart, friends start to desert him and he risks losing his young daughter. Despite the apparent unfairness of it all, the play also questions how much of the situation has been the result of his own actions and intransigence in his apparent defence of the right to freedom of expression. 'THROWING STONeS' is a challenging and thought-provoking modern Drama that poses the question 'What's in your family album?'

Notes:
Written by Christopher John Ball And Dean Sipling. Performed At Greenwich Playhouse, London 2005 - "Mid-life male photographer meets young, nubile female student-cum-artistic muse - so far its old hat. But photographer turned playwright Christopher John Ball And co-writer Dean Sipling, whose background is film And television, bring the pairing into A thoroughly contemporary world of intercepted emails, sinister insinuation And sharp retorts. Their 'guilty until proved innocent' plot . . . is thoroughly watchable And believable - perhaps As A result of Ball's professional insights And DS Dom Lucas' services As police Advisor to the production." - Barbara Lewis - The Stage
