Nick Perry - The Loop (By Request)

The Loop
Nick Perry
2009

When a young boy toys with his dad's mobile phone, middle-aged Englishman Nick Perry finds himself speaking to a young stranger called Jim in New York - in 1959. As they talk, they discover that they are both writers: Nick is struggling with his first radio play and Jim's just started on an ambitious new TV show, The Twilight Zone.

Nick searches the internet and finds Jim's episodes. As they start to play with the possibilities of their direct line between 2009 and 1959, Nick thinks he may finally have the beginnings of his play – unless Jim uses the idea, in which case it will seem decidedly second-hand 50 years on.

As things develop, a tension starts to creep in as the full implications and possibilities of what's happening dawn on them. Then Nick gets distracted by an elderly American hanging around outside his house.

    Bob,

    I can't get the program to download to get it on my MP3 player. It tries to download to my computer but can't seem to even do that.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks ever so much for this and the other play, Bob. I've listen to Metropolis this afternoon, which was wonderful, and I'm looking forward to this one!
