The Solitaire Man

Overview

Produced with outstanding success at the Hedgerow Theater, Moylan-Rose Valley, Pa. It is all about a band of crooks aboard a passenger airplane traveling from Paris to London, with all the action taking place in the course of one afternoon. The surprises are continued with each passenger on board turning up at one point or another as some type of crook. There is the usual blending of laughter at the most tense moments, with a master brain handling the whole. To add to the excitement there is present another friend from Scotland Yard. To tell the finish would be to spoil the story, but it does end to the delight of the audience.
