Henceforward--

Synopsis

England's comic master is in a black comic mode in this West End hit about our fascination with technology.

It is sometime quite soon in a steel shuttered, slovenly flat in a no go area of North London where punks rule deserted streets.

Here, a lonely composer sits surrounded by high tech equipment.

His only company is a robot nanny, and she's on the blink.

He desperately wants to reclaim his teenage daughter and enlists an out of work actress to implement a cunning plan he's evolved to impress his estranged wife and a wired for sound child welfare officer.

When things don't work out, Jerome has to improvise...

It's amazing what can be done with new micro chips and a screwdriver
