by Brian Wright.
With John Carson as Tom Grafton, Jennifer Daniel as Dr. Melanie Majors and Christopher Benjamin as Dr. Warren Burrows

When Tom Grafton agrees to a brutal form of selection procedure as candidate for a senior executive position he could hardly know that a 'failpass' should be his aim. The more he fails, in fact, the more he passes.

"It is odd that week after week Thirty-Minute Theatre should maintain so high a standard. 'Failpass' was no exception... the play's ironic point was made neatly and decisively thanks not merely to excellent dialogue, but to adroit performances from Jennifer Daniel and Christopher Benjamin as the psychiatrists and John Carson as their hollow and uneasy victim".
