Loose Cannon

An offended man with nothing to lose is a deadly combination. His oldest friends are afraid of what he may do to political and corporate leaders. Just what’s the eccentric Chris Hastings plotting from his base in Malta? Will it disrupt the 2012 Olympics? Will his friends develop into suspects and their guilty secrets exposed?In 1984, with the miners’ strike at its height, eight friends formed ‘The Lord Chamberlain’s Men’. The group pledged to take ‘below the radar’ action against hypocrisy – hypocrisy they’d seen in government, in large corporations and within the mainstream media. The leader and prime activist within the group is Chris Hastings who is dying of cancer. From the autumn of 2011 through to the summer of 2012 he embarks on leaving a legacy of disruption to the world order.This tense, psychological thriller explores the murky borderlines between activism and desperation and between fact and propaganda. There’s various humour too as the women and men closest to Chris Hastings spar with every other to decide how much every knows about his intent. The explosive ending justifies the entire concerns the Lord Chamberlain’s Men had about their leader and loose cannon.
