A temp takes off, a head-hunter wins a Dreamcast. A father hires a boy and a daughter needs an escort. The successful and damaged ricochet around the metropolis. Emotion becomes a commodity with violent consequences in this savage, funny first play.

Waterloo
Synopsis:
Paines Plough's introduction to the hottest new writers returns to the Bridewell for a fourth season of lunchtime script-in-hand performances in collaboration with the BBC New Writing Initiative. More direct than the Victoria Line - More fun than the Circle Line - Deeper than westminster - More shocking than a body on the line - More precious than a seat in ruch hour - More of a challenge than the exits at Picadilly Circus - Better value than a two zone travelcard. Jubilee - Plays from Underground, brings you 9 new plays, all inspired by the Jubilee Line Extension and written in only three weeks. From Westminster to stratford, each playwright brings their special talent to bear upon the weird and beautiful poetry of London Transport's latest artery. They will never be just a name on the line to you again!
