Tom Brady is due to give his last-ever lecture, in one of his favourite cities, magical Prague. But he hadn't reckoned with a feisty old lady, a highly secret society, an international scam, and the attentions of some very nasty people who want this to be his last-ever trip, anywhere. Can an unexpected alliance of old friends, a dubious journalist, and an ex-hacker save the day - and the world financial system?

Film-texts are in the format of a film-script, but are not designed for actual film production. They are intended to be read and imagined, and play with a variety of familiar film...

So what were those F16s doing low over Cambridge? Why did the Norfolk coast move in the night? Or strange stars suddenly start blinking on the screens of SETI? Could Frank, in his hi-tech wheelchair, crack the problem? Or was it all down to Chrissie, with her fabulous flexible laptop that folds into a pink umbrella? Would young Alex, or security expert Brian, or the mad Lord Anglia, or even the man in brown, ever understand why the whole world, even the weather maps, seemed to have become crazily warped? Perhaps it was just another day at the office for Sir G-G.

Can a mere stage play attempt to do adequate justice to the controversial theories and complex life of the great Charles Darwin...? Absolutely not.

So, instead, enjoy this constantly mutating romp through every species of theatre, from music hall to panto, from melodrama to domestic realism, from Brecht to Artaud, from BBC costume drama to Sam Beckett.

And maybe, after all that, some sense of the real drama of Charles Darwin will have evolved by the end.

A film-text for pseudo-scholars It was the usual story, of course: Boy meets Girl, Client hires Private Eye, and the two tales get entangled during a leisurely stroll around the highlights of an ancient city. But the mystery is 450 years old, and seems to involve an ominous Stranger, a forgetful German academic, a couple of warring Russian oligarchs, and final proof that Shakespeare was really from Canterbury, not Stratford, after all. So, just a normal day for a Cathedral Shepherd looking after an attractive American visitor. Written as a guide to favourite spots for friends visiting...
