THE LYING KIND PB – ANTHONY NEILSON

A brand new comedy by the writer of the hit play Stitching, published to tie in with the Royal Court s Christmas production from November 2002 Constables Blunt and Gobbel have one last duty to fulfil before they can finish their Christmas eve shift; telling the old couple at No. 58 some terrible news. But what if the shock is too much for them? Blunt and Gobbel didn t join up in order to ruin people s lives. Maybe they d be happier not knowing. And maybe it would all be much easier if the two constables weren t also stuck in the middle of a full-scale village lynch-mob.
