A light-hearted adventure by Aubrey Feist
2 — ' The Touchstone '
Produced by David Davis
' My name is Hob, and I am a very old gentleman indeed. I have already told how, in 1820, I contrived a very pretty plot to send three men to Stratfordupon-Avon in search of a lost sonnet by Shakespeare. I so arranged it that Rodney Valentine and Mr. Melville, the celebrated actor, dined with me at the Touchstone. My third adventurer, Ned Beecham , was not faring so well.'
