CollisionCollision
Synopsis:
a posh young professional has an assignation at the litter-strewn King's Cross squat of a fast-talking crack-head but who should turn up but an Irish assassin? at first this looks like being a play about terrorist links with the drug trade but in fact it's a very different scenario. Well-spoken Tom, real name Horatio, may have a nice flat and what sounds like a smart job in journalism but life's nowhere near coming up to his expectations. Magazine Deputy Editor isn't quite so glamorous when you know it's Public Service Vehicle Monthly he works for and now his girlfriend has just walked out on him. Crack-head D's problem is that he never had any expectations. Child of a single mum, who died when he was seven, he grew up in a children's home. Now he lives for his next fix, devoid of confidence that he can ever break out of the world he lives in. Both men are looking to escape from forms of dependence. Will hard man Hoodwink, who terrifies D, bring it?
