Sidste forestilling

Den yndede skuespiller af Shakespeares stykker, Sir Henry, har forladt scenen for sidste gang, da han findes død efter en middag og et familieskænderi. Kriminalinspektør Roderick Alleyns kone, der var hyret til at male et portræt af patriarken Henry, fornemmer, at ikke alt er, som det skal være blandt familiens medlemmer, og hun tilkalder straks sin mand. Men i denne teaterverden, hvor den iscenesatte adfærd og omhyggeligt maskerede opførsel også dominerer uden for teatret, er det svært at afgøre, hvem der er morderen.
