Play To The End by Robert Goddard
Actor Toby Flood is reaching the end of a tour acting in the play, Lodger in the Throat, when he is visited by his estranged wife, Jenny. Jenny tells him of a strange man hanging around outside her shop and asks him, for old times sake (even though she is now in a new relationship), to follow the stranger. Toby confronts the stranger whose name is Oswin,and discovers that the man blames Jenny's new partner, wealthy entrepreneur Roger Colborn, for the death of his father. Oswin believes that unsafe practices in the factory owned by Colburn led to the cancer contracted by his father and that many other factory workers have suffered the same fate. Oswin wants to make sure Colburn realises what he has done. As events conspire, Colburn tries to buy Toby off, but Toby sees an opportunity to get his wife back. Before he fully understands the risks he is running, he finds himself entangled in the mysterious and dangerous relationship between the Oswins and the Colborns.The prospects of his survival until the end of the play's tour suddenly look far from good.
