Respected Principal, teachers and friends, You are going to see a one-act play titled The Hour of Truth’ by Percival Wilde. In the play we see how money moulds minds in the modern world. Robert Baldwin is the governor of the John Grisham Bank. His wife is Martha and he has two children Evie and John. His salary is just 60 dollars a week.
Robert is a man of honesty and he has taught his family of the importance of being honest.
John Gresham misappropriates bank money and he is in jail. The bank crashes. Robert is asked to meet John urgently in the jail. John offers him a bribe of 100,000 dollars to say “I don’t remember” in the court when the case comes to trial. By saying those words, Robert will save John from punishment.
Robert comes home and talks about the offer to his wife and children. The three of them suddenly start thinking of ways to get the 100,000 dollars. They give suggestions to Robert. Will Robert take their suggestions and accept the money from John and say in the court “I don’t remember” when the judge asks him about the misappropriation?
I will not tell you the answer now. See it on stage! Have a nice time watching the play!
