Triangles

Lucy Engellis

Francis Maynard-Oakshotte hadn’t seen his father Oliver, a highly successful entrepreneur and businessman, for over ten years. Their mutual antagonism had set them apart. So, it was with mixed emotions that he accepted an invitation to his father’s luxury apartment in the London Shard shortly after Oliver had died.

On his arrival, Francis discovers that two other characters have also been invited: Ingrid Lindstrom and Stella Bowers. At 9 p.m. precisely, the lights of the apartment are dimmed and a video recording is projected on to a screen in the living room. In this recording Oliver reveals the terms of his will: one and only one of the three invited guests will be the sole beneficiary of his entire estate valued at four billion pounds.

Their task is to determine which of the three it is to be. They have until midnight to make a decision and for the decision to be valid, all three of them must be in complete agreement. If they cannot decide by the stroke of midnight, none of them will receive a penny and the entire estate will be bequeathed to Oliver Maynard-Oakshotte’s favourite London art gallery.

The deliberately adversarial nature of the terms of the deceased entrepreneur’s final will and testament pits the three characters against one another in a bitter triangular personal confrontation. Their past relationship with Oliver and their previous relationships with each other rapidly unravel as their different personalities and interests clash, leading to a dramatic and tragic finale.
