Outline of Play

Someone IS waiting, but why ?

It is cocktail hour and, apart from the slight friction between father and son, all is well at the Nedlow's flat. But five months earlier a murder occurred and a young man has since hanged for the crime.

Beneath the brittle cocktail party talk, terrors lurk that won't go away.

Nothing is quite what it seems; someone is guilty and someone is waiting to make that person pay. What are the Nedlows hiding ? Who is Walter Fenn ? Nothing is quite what it seems.
