PERILS OF TRAVEL

  Characters

  Anne A capable, practical professional woman in her mid to late twenties, probably on the way to higher management. She normally keeps her feelings under close control, which however does sometimes slip.

  Barbara A rather younger professional, competent in her speciality but less worldly than Anne, with whom she is nevertheless sufficiently familiar for a measure of light banter to be accepted.

  Set

  An anonymous international airport lounge.

  Time

  Late 2002.
