by PAUL MULDOON.
Last of three dramas from Northern Ireland. The De Lorean Tapes On 16 August 1984, a Los Angeles jury found
John De Lorean not guilty of having taken part in a massive £24 million drugs deal - a deal designed to save his ailing Belfast sports-car factory.
The FBI case was largely based on secret recordings of conversations between their own agents posing as drugs dealers and De Lorean. Monkeys is a dramatic reconstruction of some of these conversations.
