A three act comedy.
The locale is the town of Falstaff in Canada. All of the action
of the play takes place in one setting, the home of two gay men, one an
Afro-Canadian actor and the other an Anglo-Saxon costume designer, both
employed for the summer season by the Falstaff Festival, a theatre dedicated
to productions of Shakespeare's plays. The other characters come and go
for various reasons during the opening days of the season; a well-known
British actress, a less well-known British director, a mature Canadian-born
actress, brought home from work abroad because the arts council that funds
the theatre has insisted on the presence of at least one famous Canadian
performer in the company, a young, ambitious Canadian actress and a theatre
critic looking for gossip-news.
7 Characters: Actor, Designer, British Actress, British Director,
Mature Canadian Actress, Young Canadian Actress, Theatre Critic.
