A sunny September day. Heather Smithson, a senior MI5 controller, has a
dilemma. Her job is on the line. She pauses in the sunshine to brood on
recent events and what they mean in her life. Seattle, Genoa, New York:
What is the battleground? Who is the enemy?
Hyperlynx was performed as a one-act rehearsed reading at the
Edinburgh Festival in August 2001. Its grim premonition of the terrorist
activity of September 11th necessitated that John McGrath wrote a second
act. He completed the play in November before his death in January 2002.
Hyperlynx was the winner of the Fringe First Award, Edinburgh 2002
