Synopsis

Lord Arlington is dead, poisoned by a corned beef sandwich.

His daughter Emily, who is obsessed by Hamlet, becomes convinced that her mother and a family friend are responsible.

She sets out to exact a terrible revenge.

Madness, murder, passion, ghosts and retribution are all themes in this complex and compelling drama that is set in the Edwardian era but involves modern sensibilities.
