Overview

Faith and Edith Fellowes are spending a normal, uneventful afternoon, when a strange woman is seen leaning over their garden gate. They bring her in, to find that she is apparently suffering from loss of memory. When they summon the police, however, the woman detective is a little sceptical, as such tricks have been used before by thieves. She takes an early opportunity of going through the stranger’s handbag.
It appears to contain nothing incriminating; but the arrival of a doctor, and some further questioning, unveil something a good deal more sinister than petty theft.

Playback is a play for five women.
