ABOUT THE PLAY

In Pimm's Mission, a mystery unfolds in real time and flashbacks in the aftermath of an explosion that destroys the headquarters of a major pharmaceutical company in New York.  As FBI Agent Staats tries to piece together what happened with his only witness, Robert Pimm, we move back and forth in time to discover whether Pimm, and his friend Thomas - a disgruntled employee of the same company - had anything to do with the disaster.

The play explores the developing friendship between Pimm and Thomas Blander, a Zincorp employee. Their relationship is depicted through flashbacks, revealing a bond formed over shared experiences and feelings of alienation.  It also delves into whether Pimm and Blander had any involvement in the explosion. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that their friendship may have been used for more sinister purposes.
