 Kill the Messenger         Oedipus At Colonus

Kill the Messenger

Synopsis:
Conrad is a messenger in the plays of Shakespeare. In fact owing to a spate of bad nes and quick hangings, he is the only messenger left - and he wants to quit. Aided, advised and confused by his mentor Autolycus, Conrad must deliver ALL the messages. . . Messages for jealous moors, meddling priests and untames shrews, for tragic lovers and humpy kings - sya no more than truth, maintain the truth, for truth is truth to the end of reck'ning. But now his simple truth is all abused, as sly insinuating Iago makes opinion sick and truth suspected. Conrad must make the truth appear where hid, hide the false where it seems true, and hope that they don't - "Kill the Messenger". . .
