ABOUT THE PLAY   
The five characters in this play [two couples and a sister to one of the men] were all at University together as inseparable friends. On graduating they all went their separate ways, returning to their home town ten years later. We are told that Mark Marshall has now become a film-maker and has released a film, in which the storyline is based on the character of his old friend, Russell, in a very unflattering way. The friendships quickly unravel, and everybody’s lives are affected in one way or another.

This is a clever, moving, true to life play of ambition and revenge. It is a wonderful study of five professional men and women where self-seeking can hide beneath the most cultured surface and destroy those taken for granted values of friendship and trust.

THE CHARACTERS   

• RUSSELL McALLISTER -- 40 -- A professor of English, engaging in a leprechaunish sort of way.
  
• JILL McALLISTER -- 35-- His sister, warm, attractive, a good journalist, pleasant.
  
• WENDY McALLISTER -- 38 – RUSSEL’S wife, tall, beautiful, gentle, patient, but rather detached.
  
• MARK MARSHALL-- 41-- Good looking, intense, nervously energetic.
  
• SALLY MARSHALL -- 30 -- vivacious and exceptionally attractive, ambitious.
