Wingfield. Twelve years prior to the play's events, Inspector Chew was an ardent police officer whose life was stained by a tragic personal loss: while embroiled in the investigation of a kidnapped child, his own son passed away, and his wife deserted him. This personal catastrophe shook him profoundly, causing him to withdraw emotionally from his once-beloved profession. • As Chew nears the twilight of his career, the unresolved kidnapping case that coincided with his personal loss remains a haunting shadow. Determined to retire with a clear conscience, Chew embarks on a final mission to solve the case and wipe the slate clean. The play follows his dogged and introspective journey to bring justice to the kidnapped child's family and to himself. • Produced by Glyn Dearman, the play features a strong ensemble cast, including Brian Haines, Sean Barrett, Fraser Kerr, Malcolm Gerard, Charles Simon, and others who bring depth to the suspenseful narrative. R.D. Wingfield's sharp dialogue and distinct character portrayals ensure that Better Never Than Late is a compelling exploration of loss, duty, and redemption. • Additional Background on R.D.
