A) - A child eventually commits suicide - Source

B) - The action of the play takes place in an attic.
Jacob has been locked in the attic because he has
been a naughty boy. Henry, Jacob's father, Eleanor,
his mother, Max, his cousin, Sarah and Amy, his aunts,
and finally Gregory, his grandfather, all arrive in the
attic to reason with the boy to try to make him say he
is sorry for what he has done. All their attempts fail,
and in failing they reveal themselves in their true light.
The family returns to an informal party, leaving the boy
once again alone with his sin. - Source
