Overview
In 1942 a man, who had lived as a hermit for the last thirty-six years of his life, died. Taking this fact, the author of this play re-examines why the man chose to live alone for so long. Rudge reconstructs and examines the facts, their implications and inferences, with the help of four actors, Meff, Dust, Lizzie and an unnamed actor to play the Hermit.
