by Alan Plater
With Nigel Davenport as Donkin and Norman Rodway as Murphy
with Avril Elgar as Margaret, Anne Stallybrass as Kate, Geoffrey Bayldon as Palmer, Peter Stephens as Captain Carruthers
(Norman Rodway is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)

Murphy is recovering from a nervous breakdown. Donkin is, as ever, 'running like hell.' They find themselves reluctantly sharing a cabin on a Mediterranean cruise. Murphy just wants to read his library book on home wine-making, but Donkin has other ideas and persuades the steward to send a little feminine company in their direction.
"A trilogy which needed its three parts. It took the crossbeam of the third one to achieve a structure. The structure proved to be, of all things, a modern morality." (Sunday Telegraph)
