A scientist on the lam meets a disgraced journalist to ghost write his memoirs in a claustrophobic motel room outside Washington. And a priceless statue. Pinter meets the Maltese Falcon. Two characters, no intermission, no break. 2m, but easily gender-neutral.
Cast:
THOM Vincent, 40s-50s, former journalist, disgraced. Aloof but inquisitive.
SID Yates, 50s-60s, a scientist. Guarded, with much to be guarded about.
