Peter Yates grew up on the streets around Theatre 503 [formerly The Latchmere] in Battersea and so was pleased to have a couple of plays staged there by Practicum Theatre in 2006. Having written and directed the musical STC: The Eighteenth Century Junkie at the Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton, he went on to form First Among Sequels with Jenny Wafer, specifically to take new writing to the Edinburgh Fringe, which it did successfully for several years. This was succeeded by his latest company, Random Cactus, which took the acclaimed Lie Detector Truth Detector, directed by Marie Bobin, to Edinburgh in 2007. Formerly a cricket writer, Peter appeared as the "Bad Director" in the BBC programme The Good the Bad and the Ugly. He teaches drama and is married with two children - Lucy is a runner and Dom is a Lighting Designer.

14 Seconds

Synopsis:
You're arrested. You demand your rights. They're denied. You argue. They beat you up. You complain. They laugh. You prosecute. They're hysterical. You ask for justice. On holiday. So you protest. You're arrested . . .Random Cactus presents a startling indictment of modern policing in the UK where function creep combines with a gung-ho mentality amongst the younger elements of the force to create an ubiquitous low-level of corruption. The public thinks Policemen are the Law. The Police believe they are above the law.
