Three men who have kept apart since their lives interacted violently in Germany five years ago meet unexpectedly one evening in Sloane Square - a coincidence?

Tonight's Wednesday Play is by novelist Piers Paul Read. His first television excursion is an exciting drama of political intrigue set in cold-war Germany. A Germany where a young English diplomat finds himself hopelessly ill-equipped to combine the games of love and party politics.

"A polished production." (Daily Telegraph)
"Acting, direction and music were excellent." (Dennis Potter, Sun)
"Mr. Read's complex interweaving of neo-Nazi aspirations with the stuffiest and silliest sort of English Establishment snobbery was skilful." (Sunday Times)
