Synopsis
When Glenn Howard decided to get rid of his
wealthy wife, firstly to enjoy her money, secondly to avoid spending
the rest of his life in Bermuda, and thirdly to free himself for
another woman, he worked out a complicated but seemingly foolproof
plan which would not only keep him in the clear but involve his
wife's former lover, detective-story writer Sam Blaine. The plan
depands on the co-operation of another person, Sheila Wallis, an
attractive woman to whom Glenn is apparently devoted, and all
appears to be going well for Glenn until the unexpected arrival of
the formidable Remick. |
| This play was first produced at
the Theatre Royal, Windsor, in 1971 with Gerald Harper and Penelope
Keith in the leading roles of Glenn and Maggie Howard. In
Fairlight, Lynda Leigh took the part of Maggie, while the part of
Glenn was taken by Robin Whitburn, one of four newcomers, among which was
Roy Lewis as the "formidable" Remick. |
