31 Plays in 31 Days, #12 - “The One You Should Fear”

As I said on Facebook-- suddenly I'm very inspired by the idea of Nathaniel Hawking tied to a chair. This is a later scene also for Mrs. Hawking part 5, where Mrs. Hawking's Moriarty Mrs. Frost kidnaps Nathaniel to get information for how Mrs. Hawking's going to come for her. I want there to be some psychological warfare going on, to put relationships under stress and to show Mrs. Frost to be a truly dangerous genius.

This would take place after Day #10 - As My Guest, but I'm not sure where it would fall in relation to Day #1 - A Separate Battlefield.
