The action of the play takes place in suite 648 of the Westminster Hotel, London at about 8.30 pm on a September evening. The year is 1990.
When Richard Willey, a Government Junior Minister, plans to spend the evening with Jane Worthington, one of the Opposition's typists, things go disastrously wrong, beginning with the discovery of a 'body' trapped in the hotel's only unreliable sash window. Desperately trying to get out of an extremely sticky situation, Richard calls for his PPS, George Pigden who, through Richard's lies sinks further and further into trouble with everybody and ends up going through an identity crisis. Things go from bad to worse with the arrival of Ronnie, Jane's distraught young husband and with the arrival of an unscrupulous waiter, Mrs Willey and Nurse Foster things come to a real head!
