The whip hand / by Douglas Maxwell.

75 pages ; 21 cm.

It’s Dougie’s birthday. He just turned 50 and his family are throwing him a party. But it’s he who has a surprise for them. A bombshell proposal. He wants his ex-wife Arlene to back his new endeavour. He wants to serve a good cause, a global cause. He wants to make right a terrible wrong, even if it puts their daughter’s future at risk. An explosive new play about power, privilege, blood ties and our inescapable past.

Produced by Traverse Theatre Company and Birmingham Repertory Theatre in association with the National Theatre of Scotland.
