| Description |
The play opens where many end: worried by the odour of gas coming from a room in a frayed old boarding house, the landlady, Mrs Elton, and a tenant, Philip Welch, burst in to find Hester Page unconscious in front of the heater. An empty pill bottle lies on the table. A note sits on the mantelpiece. Her husband, Freddie is away, golfing with his RAF pal, Jackie. Another tenant, Dr Miller, is summoned, and he revives Hester. Welch's young wife, Ann arrives, and they try to work out whom to call. Then Mrs Elton drops her bombshell: they should contact her real husband, the eminent judge, Sir William Collyer. Sir William arrives, Freddie returns and Hester's protestation that what had occurred was just an accident falls apart. |
