The Lunts chose this unforgettable play for their swan song
A wealthy woman returns to her debt ridden home town and offers a sum greater than they have ever imagined to help out
But there is a condition - she wants the life of a villager who years ago had caused her to be expelled from town in disgrace
Ringing denial of this absurd demand is followed by the gradual corruption of everyone in town
He is murdered and money is passed over his body to the town
The lady leaves with a fantastic entourage and with the coffin of her old lover
