Will Marble is desperate for money to pay his family's bills., and so when his wealthy nephew visits, he asks him for a loan. When the young man refuses, Marble decides to kill him...

One of the great melodrama's in the literature of the theater. Payment Deferred is a dark portrait of a very simple man and his wife, involved in very simple circumstances which lead unfortunately, to a not so simple crime. Murder. As chilling as a scream in a dark room, and as unnerving as a charmed snake.
