Five Finger Exercise $12.99

Peter Shaffer

Published by Samuel French Ltd

3 Male 2 Female

A German orphan comes to England to tutor the daughter of a nouveau riche family

He comes unsullied by the world, hoping both to be adopted by his new country and to be absorbed into a loving family

But beneath the surface of this family there lies not love but selfish passions, and quite without knowing it, he triggers them

The audience knows and watches, as the innocent tutor comes slowly to realize that the facade of family love is a sham

The shock of reality produces a horrifying effect in each person
