an exhibition of her works in his new house on Exposition Blvd.
Susann's readiness to sacrifice her career, his new wife, and her
Mama's boy manager leave Blaise both angry and aroused. Theatrical
excitement abounds in this comedy of love vs. duty in which passions

SETTING:
TIME The present. Sunshine, already hard on the windows, fills the
room with a sharp light.
SCENE A mansion on Exposition Boulevard, New Orleans. We are in a big,
finely-proportioned parlor with high ceilings, Orientals, a crystal
chandelier. The atmosphere is that of a grand sanctuary, where the
landowner can view Audubon Park as a superior. Floor-to-ceiling
windows (sometimes used as entrances) open onto a gallery overlooking
a wide lawn, which tumbles into Audubon Park. During the daytime one
has the feeling of a semi-tropical park, and at night of an oak
garden, which climbs into the stars. |
