The Ring of Truth

A play in which Tom Gore and his wife Emma have much to celebrate, especially as a promotion seems to be in the bag. But then a ring is lost. An engagement ring. Emma is distraught while Tom insists on remaining rational, maintaining that, ultimately, it is only a symbol. Yet their world is suddenly plunged into a chaos of over-amorous lodgers, hysterical nannies and suspicious policemen. The loss of a ring cannot surely threaten a marriage, a child, an extended family, promotion, careers, friends, colleagues, workers, and indeed a whole village.
