There are three good friends: a devoted husband, a pathetically invalid wife, and a woman friend of the family. Gradually we learn that there is a terrifying truth beneath the appearance of their friendship. It has an ending you have never seen before, and it will give you the shock of your life. This play for 5F & 5M was adapted by Huxley from his own short story and was first performed at the New Theatre London in 1948.
