The Arrest
Lucienne Hill
Dear Antoine
by Lucienne Hill
Synopsis
It is the Winter of 1913 and a group of people have summoned to a remote mansion in the Bavarian mountains to hear the reading of the will of a successful playwright, Antoine de Saint Flour.
The reluctant participants include the playwright's wife, some friends and several ex-mistresses.
In confronting one another they slowly become aware that they are seeing reflections of Antoine's own fascinating and maddening personality and are taking part in a scene from one of Antoine's own dramas, playing roles he has assigned to them even after his death.
A flashback to just such a masquerade reveals the irrevocable connection between reality and theatrical illusion.
