Keith Darrant, K.C., is on the edge of a judgeship when his younger brother Larry stumbles into his study with a confession: he has killed a man to protect Wanda, the young woman he loves. In three tense scenes, between a lawyer’s study and a shabby lodging, the play weighs family reputation against conscience as an innocent stranger stands to hang for the crime.
A compact, morally pointed short play by the author of The Forsyte Saga, ideal for readers of tight courtroom-shadowed drama. Download the free EPUB.
