A woman, now in her eighties, remembers being taken, as a child, to a playground in Kew, London by her grandfather. Now, in a residential home, she expresses a desire to 'go there.' Is it to the playground, or some other part of her life in Geneva, where she meets a Russian interpreter, implicated in various events that happen in the Sudan? We follow those dramatic events, as her position, chairing a commission at the UN, is implicated and compromised, at least according to the Chinese delegate. This is a moving story of a relationship that survives different kinds of international pressures and is, in itself, part of the story of four generations in the same family. Robin Morrison is a writer of plays, poetry and short stories. His 'Virtual Apocalypse' is a gentle, sci-fi story to counter the blockbusters of alien invasions and meteor strikes. His 'The Photograph' is based on a sensational true story of assassinations, East-West relations and the Vatican in the cold war years.
