Billy, a writer, is reliant on teaching scriptwriting for a living and the bottle for oblivion; his sense of self-worth is teetering on the edge. When Mac, his best friend, a banker and would-be producer, offers him a screenplay to write, the offer is not all it seems. . . "Anyone can write . . . Writing is the great free market of artistic expression. There's no exams to pass, no subs to pay, no fees, no licence. It's open slather. Entirely self-regulatory. You can do whatever you please. Like banking." A play for anyone who has tried to write a screenplay -- or teach creative writing . . .
