Whilst Detective Harris and Detective Damote are on a stake out to gather evidence on a perpetrator who has been assaulting young women, a freak event leads to a DNA match on the most notorious sex offender the world has ever seen and this sets alarm bells ringing across every possible law enforcement agency. Only one problem though. The offender committed suicide in detention four years previously. Or did he? The ensuing cover ups and shifting alliances beat a path to the highest positions of office in the land and the upper echelons of corporate America. Before long Harris and Damote discover an enemy in their ranks. Special Agent Stonehouse of the FBI, acting on orders from up high, is doing whatever it takes to bury the evidence that Chad Levenstein faked his suicide. This sets the stage for a stand-off between Len Wyatt, the director of the FBI and Edward Baker, the police commissioner of the NYPD, around which a small team of incorruptible and determined individuals slowly unravel the machinations of the rich and powerful. Soon the bodies start piling up. Who is pulling the strings behind the scenes? Can detectives Georgina Harris and Paul Damote bring the whole cabal down? And will they themselves live to tell the tale? One by one the pieces of the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. All except the most important piece of all. They need to identify Chad Levenstein as he is now. Face altering surgery would have afforded him the luxury to move freely as he had done before and to continue child trafficking with impunity. Business as usual. The clock is ticking. Time is running out. If they don’t succeed soon, Levenstein will go to ground and the chance of a life time would have slipped through their hands. Sex, murder, duplicity and betrayal all play their part in the battle between good and evil; a story of David and Goliath and a warning to the elite of the world that perhaps they were no longer the untouchables they thought they were. This is a story of how a handful of people with integrity and sheer determination can triumph against all odds over high level crime and a lesson that obscene power does not always equate to impunity.

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
