The Business of Murder

Dee, a successful TV writer, arrives at the flat of a man named Stone, having accepted an invitation to discuss a script his ‘wife’ has written. She is rather surprised when Detective Inspector Hallet, with whom she is having an affair, also arrives, apparently to investigate a matter concerning Stone’s ‘son’ and his involvement with a drugs ring. But where are his wife and son? After many twists and turns, Stone’s intentions become clear as he slowly reveals the precise nature of the trio’s relationship. It seems that, in their own way, all three are very much concerned with the business of murder, and the play culminates in another perpetration of the crime.
