Dangerous Corner
About the Show
Monday 27 June to Friday 1 July at 8.00 p.m. and Saturday 2 July at 2.30 p.m. "The sleeping dog was the truth, do you see, and that man, the husband, insisted upon disturbing it." Ever had one of those sliding door moments? Or ever wish you could turn back the clock and start again? Robert Caplan and his wife are entertaining her brother and sister-in-law, Olwen Peel and Charles Stanton – all of whom are associated with Robert in a publishing business. Robert insists on uncovering the truth about his brother Martin’s apparent suicide, but many unpalatable and uncomfortable revelations ensue. Will relationships ever be the same again? Dangerous Corner was first performed at the Lyric Theatre, London, in 1932 and has been a stalwart of British theatre ever since.
