Description A brittle comedy of sexual politics in which the biggest toy of all is uranium. Behind the domestic triangle of a Queen's Counsel, his promiscuous wife and an idealistic trade union leader, is a sharp attack on what White saw as the frivolous misuse in Australian corridors of power of the responsibilities that come with privilege.
