John Flash is a brilliant and rather quiet young man who looks on life with understanding rather than anger. "Every other person you meet", he points out, "is spending fifty percent of their waking life doing something they don't really enjoy". John himself has no intention of being pushed into a job he doesn't like: he has turned down twelve of them so far, and even the devoted friends with whom he shares a Bohemian life in a London boarding-house are beginning to suspect that for all his promise he may turn out to be a failure.
This play, the first by its twenty-seven year old author, was recently given its first performance by the Manchester Library Theatre, and it was booked for television before its opening night. It deals with the timeless problems of youth in the language and setting of today.
