Outline of Play

Peter has come to a lonely old house to finish a play - a thriller featuring all the old stock characters such as butler and maid, but with some new twists.

Amazingly the characters manifest themselves and take over the situation, one of them trying to kill Peter.

Events follow a typical thriller to a hair-raising climax until Peter manages to type "The End" - but an even more surprising twist is in store.
