Summary
This compelling comedy of devious plot and counter-plot adapted from a
radio play broadcast on Radio 4, begins with George and Alice, an
elderly couple, bickering over cucumber sandwiches. Sinister undertones
develop when george reveals he has a hankering for a dusky maiden and
has retained Mr Romero, a hitman, to take Alice for a final journey to a
motorway construction site. Mr Romero and his assistant Gloria arrive,
but Alice is equal to events and the play ends as it begins with George
and Alice still bickering and Mr Romero somewhat richer.
