This dark thriller, written by Bernard Slade centres around Blair Griffin, a fading movie star who is in retreat in her country hideaway in Massachusetts. In the throes of divorce, she invites her husband Morgan to collect some of his paintings and he is murdered by Tony Lombardi, a photographer who has been following her career (and her!) for many years. Why did he kill Morgan? Is Blair involved? The local police, in the form of jaded Lieutenant Gus Braden and sharp Sergeant Doris Ayleworth have to sort it out. When Gus becomes emotionally entangled with Blair, what seems straightforward is not. Another killing and a suspected rape only make the situation more difficult. A cracking tale with lots of twists and turns right up to, and including, the very last second. This play will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
