Description "The Paragon is a curious play about a father and son relationship by a father and son playwriting team, Roland and Michael Pertwee. Set in England's green and pleasant in 1946, a grandstanding industrialist is about to build grandstands and playing fields as memorials to his only son who was killed in World War II. These plans are confounded by an intruder."
