Afternoon Play - Severed Threads - The Reckoning

Vengeance is all that's on schoolboy Ben's mind as he pieces together the events surrounding his father's death. Four thousand miles away in India, journalist Prem is drawn deeper into a dangerous world of exploitation and corruption. In the US, as Jim's life takes a nose-dive and he is gradually stripped of all he holds dear, his unquestioning faith turns to simmering rage. As these three stories converge, they build towards a terrifying and climatic resolution. Cast: Jim ..... Brian d'Arcy James Prem ..... Ameet Chana Ben ..... Hugo Docking US Cast: Ruth .....
