Bøger af Sutton Vane

The climax of the first act of this extraordinary play provides the sort of thrill that comes no oftener than once in a theatrical season. A strange company of ship-mates, mystified by a vaguely oppressive feeling of unreality and uncertainty, suddenly discovers that every last one of them is dead. Their ship, unmanned and without lights, is gliding noiselessly across the River Styx, and when one of the characters in terror asks the sole attendant whether they are bound for Heaven or Hell, the answer is "Both!...It's the same place, you see!"

A smash hit, written in 1923, that enjoyed successful runs on the West End and Broadway.
