I thought this was a play about a man who tries to drive his wife insane, and it is to a degree – but that’s only the first part of the first act. In reality the husband is more interested in trying to find jewels upstairs – it’s taking him a long time to go about it. But there are some great moments here – the driving insane stuff, the wife realising she’s been duped, the sluttish maid, the wife trying to lie to her husband, the finale where the wife appears to have really gone made. The detective character is a bit corny – they make him older, presumably to remove a chance of romance.
