Death at the Dolphin - Ngaio Marsh - BBC Saturday Night Theatre
On a whim, rising theatre director Peregrine Jay views a derelict Victorian playhouse, The Dolphin Theatre on London's South Bank, where he falls into a wartime bomb crater on the stage and is rescued from drowning by the theatre's owner, the enigmatic multi-millionaire Vassily Conducis, who listens to and finances the young theatre practitioner's vision of a restored Dolphin Theatre, which duly opens with the premiere of Jay's play 'The Glove", inspired by a cheverel glove Conducis owns and has shown to Jay, with faded documents suggesting it was made for Shakespeare's only son Hamnet, who died young.
Death at the Dolphin is a detective novel by Ngaio Marsh. It is the twenty-fourth novel to feature Roderick Alleyn, and was first published in 1967. The plot centers on a glove once owned by Hamnet Shakespeare, on display at a newly renovated theater called the Dolphin. The novel was published as Killer Dolphin in the United States. Several characters from the novel return in Marsh's final book, Light Thickens.
