The gripping action, set in New 1York's East Side, deals with the cli- max of a fifteen-year search con- ducted by a youth to clear the name of his father, the victim. The hero encounters not only the judge who passed sentence, but the real killer, the father of an unwilling partici- pant in the crime, and a girl with whom he falls th love although she is related to an accomplice. ‘The interplay of these various characters and their motives fur- nishes the many emotional crises of the story. “Winterset,” on the stage, won from the New York Dramatic Cri- tics Circle its award as the best Am- erican play of the season.
