The Daughter of Time
London, 1950. Inspector Alan Grant, laid up in hospital, investigates the alleged crimes ofRichard III and the murder of the Princes in the Tower as a “cold case file.” What begins as a distraction becomes an urgent mission, as Grant tangles with two scheming Shakespearean actors, a couple of opinionated nurses, his own sceptical deputy, and a lovesick young American historical researcher to solve his case. And along the way, he might just solve the mystery of his own heart.
Based on Josephine Tey’s classic novel – ranked No. 1 in the British Crime Writers’Association Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time – M. Kilburg Reedy’s new play swirls togetherhistory, myth, comic disasters and irresistible romance.
