Plot: After his wife is murdered in Kenya, Justin Quayle, a mild, low-level diplomat and a constant gardener, must investigate his wife's death, their relationship, and his own heart. In flashbacks, we see them meet, marry, and fall in love; we follow her in the teeming streets and clinics of Nairobi, usually accompanying Arnold Bluhm, a Black doctor with whom she spent the night before her murder, and who, after robbers, is the prime suspect. In his own investigation, Justin must not quail as he faces his memories, his colleagues, local police, hired thugs, and a nasty corporate CEO. Help and connections, as well as conspiracies, come from unexpected places.
This is similar to my play because there is a theme of relationships and how far people would go for the people they love and care about. There is also a sense of journey as the couple in this travel to try and achieve what they want to find out which is similar to the questioning of the journey of the Jews in the Germans hands and getting the know the truth about the camps.
