Synopsis

This play was written and performed in 1908 but was not published until 1953 (the last of Maugham's plays to be published) some 45 years later. The play was adapted by W. Somerset Maugham from the original by Frenchman Grenet-Dancourt.

The action is continuous and takes place on the courtyard of a rented French holiday villa in the 1850's
