What goes around comes around is a play loosely based on the novel of the same name. Anthony, the protagonist, is a slightly dishevelled fictional Brussels bureaucrat, with a weakness for draught Guinness, an addiction to aspirins, and a secretary obsessed with grey. After being for many years the beating heart of Message from Europe, he is now stuck in a rut, struggling with a mad Project Master, an imaginary European bureaucracy in crisis, and a looming referendum in which the shouty Out campaign is based on lies and smears. Haunted by memories long gone, Anthony appears to be doomed to become an anti-hero of the modern age, or maybe he is just a Peter Pan who has momentarily stopped believing in magic... From Brexit with love? Not really...but a charming journey of fun, mischief, and renewal.
