Description It's 1894 and Bilstrode's 84,000 Canterbury acres are heavily overtaxed. Everyone has a plot to capitalise or syndicalise or socialise or otherwise own it. Every plot gives rise to another murder, betrayal or counterplot. Revolutionary or pragmatic or cynical socialism and capitalism look strangely similar. Structure and style reinforce the play's ideas.
