The Salamander Letter....2005
15 Jan 05. The Salamander Letter explores one of the most remarkable episodes in the history of The Church of the Latter Day Saints – a fraud aimed at the heart of the Mormon faith, and which led to murder. It is 1987 and Salt Lake City has been rocked by a series of mysterious, seemingly random letter bombs, which have left two people dead and one severely injured. All the evidence seems to point to Mark Hofmann, the respected dealer of rare and antique documents, who was himself the victim of the third attack. However, police have no idea as to the motive and, in a plea-bargain arrangement, decide to commute his sentence in exchange for a full confession. This play follows the course of the interview.
