"Well, honour is the subject of my story. . ." (Julius Caesar).

This is a play set in familiar surroundings: set in the wake of armed conflict with all its social upheaval and personal stress. This is a familiar canvas.
The characters of this tense drama are perhaps also familiar: General Forster—the dedicated professional soldier who, through a nightmare stroke of fate committed the unpardonable sin of failing to maintain his objective during battle; Dido—the flotsam of war—young, attractive, morally careless, the girl of the amusement arcades on the edge of the city's bright lights; Chancellor Cadmus—keeping a shaky democracy in some sort of order by means of loud speakers in the boulevards and sinister circuses in the courts; and Catherine de Troyes—the wealthy aristocrat—waiting, but waiting in the past, surrounded by the charlatans of the world.
