A man down on his luck in employment finds salvation in a woman who has fallen from financial grace.

The World of Eve Colman

Stripped of all the trappings of a well-to-do father in upper middle class society, Eve Colman is now reduced to finding a job in London and earning a living. Thrown back onto her own resources she seeks out cheap accommodation in the multicultural area of Tooting Broadway.

The Call to Adventure

When Eve meets potential flatmate, Adam Smith, she senses that her call to adventure is to save this urban man from a cycle of depravity.

The Test

Adam is put to the test when Eve informs him that she is going to have a housewarming party. She neither invites him nor excludes him. She just informs him. The weight of memory invades Adam's mind as she does so. He has been socially excluded from so many dinner parties in the past that could have projected his career to another level that the thought of having one in his own home where he is not invited to plays upon his mind. Adam's inner problem is to overcome social exclusion.

The Inmost Cave

One of the forms of discrimination that Adam faces in the workplace and in life in general is ostracism. It is an invisible enemy that is intangible and up until now unconquerable. He faces the same sort of ostracism at Eve's housewarming where he is neither welcomed nor ignored. He is just tolerated, and his presence in polite society raises tension and agitation. This is his inmost cave that he has to learn to overcome.

Clapham Common Chicken Casserole

The ordeal between Adam and Eve takes place when Eve cooks a meal for Adam to compensate for not inviting him to her housewarming party. Although sincere on her part it raises tension on various levels. For example:

1) Eve uses Adam's chicken rather than her own to cook him dinner.

2) Eve's interpretation of cooking chicken is a rather bland offering to the West Indian palette.

3) The meal throws open the bigger picture of table fellowship between the working classes and the middle classes.

4) The meal also observes urban society rubbing shoulders with polite society.

5) The meal presents a clash of culture between West Indian cooking and English cooking.

6) The meal brings together the polar opposites of a Conservative woman and a New Labour man.

7) The meal brings together the establishment as represented by Eve and the marginalised as represented by Adam.

8) All of the hurdles that stand in Adam's way are embodied in Eve, whereas all of what Eve is reduced to is embodied in Adam.
