AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This play takes us to the world of the music hall and tells of Jo Polmski, the master ventriloquist, who died as a result of an accident, leaving his wonder doll to his wife whose conscience is far from clear on the subject of her husband's death. Connie, the wife, marries a trapeze artist and from that time a singular Nemesis shadows their lives. Can it be, as Connie vows, that a dead man's vengeance animates a wooden puppet ... or is It, as her husband declares, all coincidence?'
