About This Book

A one-act drama set in the night-time hayloft of a roadside inn follows a small group of men as they feed animals, smoke and argue about a recent spate of petty thefts. Everyday talk about missing harnesses and prized beasts gradually exposes rivalries, suspicions and claims of bravado, while personal grievances and practical choices reveal uneasy solidarities and moral compromises. Detailed stage directions and a rustic interior frame interactions that shift between humor, tension and threatened violence, showing how suspicion and possession shape social relations in a tight-knit rural setting.
