The Wrong Box, by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne. Part II.

The Wrong Box, by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne. Part II.

Author: Great Literature September 24, 2026 Duration: 58:55

The Wrong Box is a comedy about the ending of a tontine (a tontine is an arrangement whereby a number of young people subscribe to a fund which is then closed and invested until all but one of the subscribers have died. That last subscriber then receives the whole of the proceeds). 

The story involves the last two such survivors and their relations, a train crash, missing uncles, surplus dead bodies and innocent bystanders. A farce really.
