This is a scanned copy of the script for My Sister in This House, produced
by Monstrous Regiment Theatre Company in 1987, in association
with Leicester Haymarket Theatre.
Written by Wendy Kesselman, and based on a notorious murder in France
in 1933, this was the play's UK premiere; it was first produced in the USA
in 1981. Further information about the show can be found in its

The script for this production was published in Monstrous Regiment: A
Collective Celebration, edited and compiled by Gillian Hanna (Nick Hern
Books, London 1991). We are grateful to the publisher for permission
