A physicist finds himself drawn into an investigation to track down a spy at his research station.

'Imagine. The whole sky filled with silent sportsmen.' Henry is a teacher, and a very good one, but his dream of man-powered flight, and his habit of destroying the odd greenhouse on his test runs, threatens his career. Also there's his daughter Ruth, who would dearly love to retrieve her bicycle wheels from his flying machine.

Play about a pregnant cleaner in a North Country museum who becomes entranced by one of the exhibits, a baby's lace christening cap, and its dead maker.
