The Time-Bomb waiting to go off reflects the fear of the times in which we live. It’s central character, an important government minister, finds himself squeezed between the pressures of political office and the very real, personal security threat that gives rise to his deepest, innermost fears. Fear is a strong and intractable human mechanism, the expression and form of which has changed throughout time. Once it was the darkness and its’ unknown power that terrified but today that fear has other faces.

The Dud examines how a politician, pressed by the current, unpredictable evil that may strike anywhere and at anytime, handles the terrorist threat when he must also deal with the threat of losing political power, position or strength? And how, furthermore, will he manage to overcome the everyday anxieties of ageing, decay and the death of mankind?

The Dud mirrors how the power-elite, constituted by seemingly strong men, toil to keep the game going and in doing so keep the fear distant. Our politician is one such silent, resolute man who devotes great energy and effort to guard how others behave. A man who will never risk doing wrong himself, for fear of exposure. His great support is his wife but the consequences of his spiralling, intangible fears, ultimately prove fatal to their marriage.
