LEVELS OF DARKNESS

In the story of David Mall’s meteoric leap from a Manchester ghetto to a world of gambling, glamour and riches, those waiting to appear are - the beautiful, free-spirited Denise; Wolfie, the enigmatic gambling mentor; the insatiable Cathy; George, the persuasive spectre – all players in the great game of ‘chance or choice’ that is at the heart of Levels of Darkness.

The nightclubs and casinos of the 1960s were writer Sam Railey’s stomping grounds and this authentic portrayal of the dark side of gambling, its clinical insights into what drives gamblers and the forces that influence all our lives, is an unflinching study of how chance and choice determine the way we live and who we love.
