Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, by Constance Cox, based on the short story by Oscar Wilde Director: Sonia Dell 19/20/21/22 October 1993 Gymnasium Bäumlihof, Basel Lord Arthur Savile's engagement to the lovely Sybil Merton looks like never ending at the alter all because Lady Merton's pet chiromantist Podgers has read Lord Arthur's palm and foretold he would commit a murder. Lord Arthur naturally desires a blissful married life and, therefore, feels duty bound to get the crime over with first. But despite valiant assistance from his butler and cheerful anarchist Winkelkopf, attempt after attempt fails. Then news comes that Podgers is a charlatan: Lord Arthur is free , and the carriage waits to take him to the wedding rehearsal. Alas, it contains Winkelkopf's newest bomb. Getting rid of this provides the final complications . . . The action of the play takes place in the drawing room of Lord Arthur's house in Grosvenor Square, London, over several days in the late 1890's.
