Synopsis:

This play was suggested by a crime which occurred in the '60s. A young girl was tor-tured over a period of months and finally murdered by a woman with whom she was board'd and the woman's two daughters. The play starts with a courtroom scene and the story is told in flashbacks. The focal point of the play is the close identity the woman feels with her victim. She keeps insisting, "I am the one who was murdered." A carnival atmosphere adds a bizarre element.

Synopsis:

Jimmy Macintosh is a man in his seventies, a victim of amnesia. He believes that he is the last surviving member of the Dillinger gang and has been look-ing for "Johnny" the past forty years. He falls into the clutches of a practical nurse, Rosie Freeman, who first befriends him then betrays him to the police in a replay of "the woman in red." Rosie's patient, Esther and two children from upstairs contribute their own poignant stories to the theme of lost identities.
