The Shadow Formula
T0
David R Roberts' play set in pre-war London is a rip-roaring ride into a seamy underworld of dastardly double agents, vicious villains, feisty femmes fatales, spies, scientists, chanteuses, and at its heart, a battle- scarred anti-hero who'd rather drown his sorrows than face them. Washed-up Great War veteran Cary Donat's life is turned upside down when his fiancee Lily is murdered on his doorstep. As Cary struggles to clear his name for the murder, he uncovers a sinister ploy for world domination initiated by deranged scientist Professor Clark, conducted by brutal thugs Guido and Gruber, orchestrated by sadistic fascist Diana Fox and masterminded by dastardly German spy Josef Heydrich. Cary's only allies in his fight are beautiful agent Raz Peel and Claude Lockhart, his old war comrade. Pursued by villains and the authorities alike, Cary must overcome his personal demons, outsmart, out-fight and out-manoeuvre his enemies, and destroy the mysterious Shadow Formula before it destroys the world...
