by ALICK ROWE
with Henry Stamper as Kavenagh

KENNY: I still can't see what's in it for you. I looked through the local cuttings on the inquest. You've got nothing to go on and you know it.
KAVENAGH: My worry too... the girl's people asked for action.
KENNY: Wring the other wither. So do 100 letters every week. You've turned down more promising material than this. What's the personal angle?

The answer lies in this play about a tough journalist investigating possible negligence in the case of a fatal accident at a Climbing School in Wales.
