Billion Dollar Bubble
Dramatised by TOM CLARKE
The true story of the biggest fraud of all time. A dramatised account of how Equity Funding Corporation of America, a rather over-enterprising Los Angeles insurance company, produced two billion dollars' worth of phoney insurance.
In 1969 two young executives used Equity Funding's computer to balance an error in the company's accounts. But the computer gradually took over. The auditors of the Corporation were so impressed by the computer's printouts that the temptation to escalate the fraud became irresistible. By 1973 Equity Funding had become a financial giant rivalling the largest American Corporations. But a number of suspicious auditors were closing in. In comic detail we see the conspirators fobbing them off with increasingly ludicrous ploys, and the story climaxes with the arrest of the computer.

The fifth in a series of six investigations into the paranormal. Introduced by Colin Wilson
Parlour Games by ANNE OWEN starring Hugh Burden and Patricia Quinn
Gilbert Murray was Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford from 1S08 till 1936; he was also an outstanding figure in the history of psychical research - his demonstrations of telepathy achieved one of the highest success rates ever recorded. If he had repeated his results under laboratory conditions, the existence of ESP would no longer be in doubt. But he always refused - even when he was publicly accused of fraud.
Our play, set in 1915, reconstructs the experiments and the events that followed Murray's first public claim to telepathic powers.
