I spent more than half my life, when I ought to have been enjoying myself, arguing and planning and running around like a maniac, all to sell a lot of things to people I didn''t know, so that I could buy a lot of things that I didn''t have time to use. Sheer lunacy. And it took nothing less than an atom bomb to blow me out of it."

Until their quiet, agrarian existence is disrupted by the appearance of three representatives of the New World Order an American, a Russian and an Indian who have devastating plans that will end their new peaceful way of life forever.''A strangely compelling play from the heart of an anguished romantic... . also uncannily topical at a time when Britain is being forced to ask whether its real influence lies in its cultural values rather than its militaristic posturing.
