High Society by Ben Elton
The war on drugs has been lost. The simple fact is that the whole world is rapidly becoming one vast criminal network. From pop stars and princes to crack whores and street kids, from the Groucho Club toilets to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, we are all partners in crime. High Society is a story about our world today, a collection of criminal nations in which everyone is either breaking the law or knows people who do. It takes the reader on a hilarious, heart breaking and terrifying journey through the kaleidoscope world that the law has created and from which the law offers no protection.
Ben Elton's career both as performer and writer encompasses some of the most memorable and incisive comedy of the last twenty years. In addition to his stand-up work, his TV credits include The Young Ones, Blackadder and The Thin Blue Line. He has written three hit West End plays - Gasping, Silly Cow and Popcorn - and six novels, each of which have been major bestsellers - STARK, GRIDLOCK, THIS OTHER EDEN, POPCORN, BLAST FROM THE PAST, INCONCEIVABLE and DEAD FAMOUS. His new musical - a collaboration with Queen - WE WILL ROCK YOU, opens in the West End in May 02. Ben Elton lives in London with his wife Sophie and their three children
