It’s the evening of the funeral of Lionel Halloran, master of Halloran House. Was Lionel’s mysterious death from a fall down stairs murder? Lionel’s widow, Maryjane, believes it was the work of Lionel’s mother, Orianna, who will now inherit the ornate estate with a strange sundial in the middle of its grounds. This eerie and suspenseful 1958 novel by the author of The Lottery, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle will be brought to the City Lit stage in a World Premiere adaptation written and directed by Paul Edwards, who previously adapted Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House for City Lit.
