Book excerpt: High drama and some low comedy in these two one-act plays by novelist Anne M. Holmes. In "That's Nice" we meet Charlotte and Emily, two senior editors at Chatsworth & Son, a publishing house once known for the quality of its authors. Now Charlotte is stuck with the tortured prose of Greville Marshall and Emily must cope with the fragrant euphemisms of Millicent Carruthers. They hide out in the staff lunch room trying to figure out how they can wash their hands of these hacks. "An Unhelpful Complication" is set in a council flat in south London in 1992, where recently appointed Tory cabinet minister Sir Ambrose Carrick is reunited with war correspondent Maggie McArthur, a woman he first met a world away and a lifetime ago. Both have secrets they will protect at any cost. This is a battle of wits. Who will still be standing at the end?
