Disposing of the Body

When life starts to fade into a summery drowsy twilight, you should be taking things a little easier ... But for Henry Preece, embarking on early retirement with his attractive wife, things start to go seriously wrong. 'All my life,' he says, I've either been looking back at happy times that have gone or looking forward to the happiness to come.' In Hugh Whitemore's elegant and tantalising play, the mystery and excitement of an unexpected passion is given full rein, until Henry realises that the door he's just flung open should have remained tightly shut.
