False snake

by Alan Ayckbourn

Alice Moody demands one hundred thousand pounds. Otherwise she reveals to the police that Miriam killed her own father. But she has no money. As a final act of malice, her father has left his entire estate not to her but to her sister Annabel, who ran away from home as a teenager. As soon as Annabel sets foot through the garden gate, she is intercepted by Alice: Instead of Miriam, she is now to bleed. But Annabel has little desire to get rid of her newly acquired wealth straight away.
