by Jean Anouilh
Translated by Lucienne Hill and Mike Stott
With Barry Foster, Anna Massey, Stephen Murray, Judy Parfitt and John Phillips

France: August 1939.
'Ah, dear boy, Mr Hitler does not have the benefit of dear Mr Loubenstein to produce his scenario. And we have. And as his office has solemnly announced, the great man is even now speeding towards us. Carrying his cheque book. To buy two things: one good meal and one good story. To be consumed together.'
