The Pivot by Hugh Costello
New drama starring Monica Dolan. It鈥檚 2025 and a new virus in Singapore threatens a major trade deal. Political expediency clashes with the inconvenient need to do the right thing.
The UK, 2025. Loraine Wilson (Monica Dolan), a junior minister at the Department of Business Expansion, is negotiating a trade deal with the ASEAN bloc of South-East Asia. The deal would be both lucrative and prestigious, extending the UK鈥檚 global footprint 鈥� but there is fierce competition for the business from other countries.
A problem arises when Loraine is informed by her scientist son, James, that SEARS 25, a new Covid variant, is spreading from South East Asia and that it鈥檚 imperative the UK secures its borders to stop the virus arriving in the country.
Mother clashes with son, and political expediency clashes with the inconvenient need to do the right thing.
