Story at a glance: (Source: Indian Express - 15 Jan 1999)

The curtain opens to a charmingly-crafted set of a rich family's living room. An engagement is in progress, with cognac and affections much in evidence. The family of four, with the new son-in-law, is in a boisterous mood. But the euphoria is dented by an unexpected visitor, a police inspector. In his rather pushy manner, he announces that a girl died recently after consuming pesticide and he has every reason to believe that this family is involved in the tragedy.

What follows is an excellent unravelling of the plot that traverses two acts, ripping off the masks donned by these family members, reducing them from high-society somebodies to the bare human beings that they are, with the same failings and attitudes. The sequences weave around each character, changing the mood to one of tension, suspicion, anger and frustration. The basic tendency of humans to defend themselves falls in line with the writer's intention of exposing the family's weaknesses. The falling apart of the family, their succumbing to the overpowering onslaught of the inspector, brings to fore the gullibility of even the indomitable.
