The leading lights of the village have decided to hold a pageant of local history based on a somewhat vague event, "The Massacre of the Pendon Twelve". On the committee, however, is a young left-wing schoolteacher who decides to turn the project into a rally for proletarian revolution.
Committee meetings become symbolic battlefields for conflicting views - the right wing faction being led by the Chairman's conservative wife. The event itself turns into a violent confrontation between the two extremes with cataclysmic results.
This brilliant blend of comedy and farce makes this one of Ayckbourn's most popular plays.
