Blurbs
Publicity Blurb: Mr. Stone lures to his home a policeman and a crime writer, and plays dark psychological games with them, as the two guests grow suspicious of their connection with the man.
Proposal Blurb: "The Business of Murder" is a great play which played on the West End for 9 years, by a writer whose thrillers have been compared to the work of Agatha Christie. The three very interesting characters come together in an increasingly tense situation as murders past, and potentially future, are discussed. Set-wise, nothing too complicated. A standard, modern flat which is neither shabby nor decadent. Tech not overly complex either. Some cool effects with light through a window, as the first half is set in the afternoon, and the second half a few hours later, as the evening draws in.
