Item details

When Violet Cavendish is at work a girl arrives unexpectantly at her empty cottage and is recognised as her niece by Miss Grant, a well-meaning neighbour. Left alone, the girl drops the pretence and it is no pleasant surprise awaiting Violet's return but a conniving escaped prisoner. In a gripping, tightly-knit scene the girl's vicious demands for more than money are eventually met - with top secret information from the Government Research Station where Violet works. It is Miss Grant who accidentally provides the essential clue to a double-cross. But it is only the twist in the last few seconds which reveals the reasons behind the desperate game of intrigue. A tense, exciting and topical play which offers two excellent leading roles and a delightful cameo.
