Comments:

A new production was staged Thursday May 28th - Saturday June 6th 2009 at The Albany, Douglas Way Deptford. Production by The Mountview Academy Of Theatre Arts.

"Welcome to the Marina Walker Talk Show, where today's guests are Louise, who sadly lost her husband in a car accident, and musician Nicky who was responsible for that tragic event. It is the first time they have met and today, in front of millions of viewers, they will have an opportunity to talk about how they have coped with this awful tragedy - oh yes, and Nicky will be singing his debut single Hit and Run".

Needless to say, hovering in the background is a PR guru, Roslyn, ready to exploit every second in the spotlight.
