Summary
An investigator grills four hyper-respectable citizens after receiving an anonymous letter describing the disappearance of a mysterious Boy who had presumably appeared among them.

Boy on Blacktop Road and The Stallion Howl may be joined to make a full theatre evening, or may also be performed separately. If together, there is almost a complete overlap of cast.
