Description: A Judge passes a harsh sentence on a young man, the violent revolutionary Vernon Warren. Warren's brother, Michael, kills the Judge in revenge. Caroline, the Judge's wife, explains her husband's reactionary behaviour, seeing his death as 'his way of committing suicide'; deliberately making himself a parody of a right-wing bigot, thereby giving his life for the oppressed, for the revolution.
