Summaries

A wealthy family is visited by a police inspector, who questions the family about the suicide of a young working-class woman.

Set in 1912, an upper crust English family's dinner is interrupted when a police inspector brings news of a girl known to everyone present having died in suspicious circumstances. It seems each member of the family could have had a hand in her death. But who is the mysterious Inspector and what can he want of them? This was originally a West End play.—Steve Crook <[email protected]>
