by Otto Heinrich Kühner translated by R. J. Hollingdale
with Nigel Stock and David Sumner
A German firing-squad is detailed to shoot a young deserter during the war. It is the practice to load one of the rifles with a blank cartridge, so that each member of the squad can imagine that it was not he who had shot the victim.
(Nigel Stock is in ''The Father' at the Piccadilly Theatre; Martin Jarvis is in 'Poor Bitos' at the Duke of York's Theatre, London)
Followed by an interlude
