The Scottish Play Revisited

Synopsis

Duncan Forsyth is coming back from a trip to America. Thanks to Archie Macbeth, the company has clinched a gigantic deal with a US firm. Forsyth has organised a long weekend in an expensive Scottish Highland hotel to celebrate and to tighten ties with his workforce. There will be sports events and especially Bungee jumping from a high mountain crag. All executives must take part in it, including the CEO. Given his successful sales strategy, Archie hopes to be appointed vice-president and so one day president and CEO of the company. However, at a cocktail party given at the hotel, Duncan announces that he will appoint his son, Malcolm to the post. Macbeth is bitter and decides to put a spoke in the wheel: Duncan or Malcolm. He confers with his wife who eggs him on. Murphy’s law will explain the outcome.
