Cast:

An O.R.P Production.

Crew:

We are grateful to Levines of Bearwood for supplying the three piece suite and to Vic Childs for his assistance with this production.

The Play:

Jack has just been acquitted of manslaughter, and delightedly regales his live-in girl-friend Maggie and their neighbours Lynne and Dennis with a disparaging account of the trial. According to the evidence (most of it Jack's), the victim Philip Mercer, had broken in late at night, and on being confronted by Jack, produced a gun, which Jack got hold of during the ensuing struggle and then used to kill Mercer. A clear case of self defence. Or was it? Mercer's family don't seem to think so, as they are rumoured to be outside, apparently waiting for a crack at Jack.

As the action unfolds, Maggie, Lynne and Dennis begin to have their doubts too. We gradually learn more about what really happened that night and how it concerns them all in different ways until the truth is finally known, with tragic results.

...witty, naturalistic dialogue... Independent

The action takes place in the living room of Jacks house, somewhere in England.
