The impresario Peregrine Jay has fulfilled a long-cherished dream: He
now owns the Dolphin Theatre, and has restored it to its former glory.
To celebrate the re-opening, a no-expenses-spared production of The
Glove, a new play about the discovery of a true Shakespearean accessory.
London's chattering classes are abuzz with gossip about the theatre,
rumors about Peregrine, critiques of the play. But when murder takes
center-stage, everyone gets very quiet.
