In this play from 1935 and set in Victorian London, Jack Manningham is manipulating his wife Bella to believe that she is going insane.

He has almost succeeded when help arrives in the form of a former detective, Rough, who believes Manningham to be a thief and murderer. With Bella's help, Rough proves Manningham's true identity and Bella finally achieves a few moments of freedom from the suffering he inflicted on her.

This play is a tense thriller and a period piece. It will require actors to deal with adult themes such as murder, theft, and coercion.
