Butter in a Lordly Dish
by Agatha Christie
Seduction brings suspense to this clever Christie drama. The punishment for prosecuting an innocent man may just be death, but who is the judge and jury, and will the guilty get their due?
“Butter in a Lordly Dish” was first performed on the BBC on Tuesday, January 13, 1948 in a strand entitled Mystery Playhouse presents, “The Detection Club.” The play title comes from the Bible: Judges, 5:25: "He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish". "He" refers to Sisera and "she" is Jael. (This work was never published before).
