Your program will list five names for five roles, but the actual cast is two, for no one is ever what he seems in this whodunit and every event is bizarre. In a cosy English country house owned by a famous mystery writer, a young guest walks in and they begin a convivial round of scotch and dialogue. Suddenly the host says, I understand you want to marry my wife and, from that moment, the two are locked in a mortal encounter. The games that are devised – the murders plotted and subverted – add up to increasing suspense and unsolvable crime.
