Details

Nick is released from prison into New Labour Britain to find a truly global world that makes little sense. His first contact is with ex-lover Helen, like him a former activist. But she's changed too, and now she makes the buses run on time, has the odd lesbian fling and shares her flat with Tim, a gay man whose hedonism has come full circle. His made-to-order fun boy Victor doesn't seem keen on feelings, and even Nadia, enduring a relationship she scarcely cares about, is unable to get to grips with the whys and wherefores of life. But does the mysterious Jonathan hold the answers? Mark Ravenhill, author of the explosive Shopping and F**king, hints that these people's lives are as they are not by accident but by sickening design, and investigates how people cope with winning and losing in the new global village. Contains explicit adult scenes.
