In Place and The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome
Corinne Jacker
Passing Strangers
by Eric Chappell
Synopsis
‘Fickle thing, memory.’ Malcolm discovers how true his words are when he takes his friend Clive to a singles’ evening.
Clive, a hospital porter masquerading as a doctor, has just been left by his wife, while Malcolm is a confirmed bachelor and “big in imports” - really a market stall trader.
In the deserted hotel bar, to the depressing soundtrack of the next-door ballroom, they meet two recent divorcees; upwardly-mobile Julie and cynical, defiant Liz.
Malcolm is determined to break down Liz’s defences while trying to pair off Clive with Julie.
But the women have a few tricks of their own, and Malcolm soon finds that life, like the evening, is full of surprises.
