This is a modernist play in verse, using meter, a departure from the usual form that was adopted in plays after T.S. Eliot's The Family Reunion and Murder in the Cathedral. Lines vary from ten to eleven syllables, in a variable way, without hindering flow: free verse, in T.S. Eliot's sense. The characters are old world in their manners, yet modern at the same time. This is a play written for modern audiences that still appreciate the theatre but cannot always make it to the hall. This is not just a play, but a murder mystery. In a sleepy English village, a woman is murdered. The police round up the usual suspects. But fail to discover who committed the murder. Can you?
