	Ordering Information

This suspensful, atmospheric mystery unfolds as a play within a play. In 1930s Tehran, a sinister brother and sister plot to dispose of their recently widowed sister-in-law in order to obtain her inheritance. To implement their scheme, the siblings hire a troupe of itinerant performers to pose as servants and stage horrific events. The terrified widow calls on the police for help, but the investigator assigned to the case becomes convinced she is crazy because the evidence for each of the alleged crimes disappears before authorities arrive at the scene.
