Antoinette Duffy
Oscar Wilde
Devised from the short story by Oscar Wilde.
An artful clairvoyant tells Arthur that murder is written in his hand. True to the Victorian notion of social obligation, Arthur decides that he must commit the crime before marrying Sybil Merton whose name cannot be stained by her husband's misdemeanour. He therefore embarks on what he believes to be an heroic felony.
