'Bal Masque'
A Fantasy in One Act by Oliphant Down
The setting for 'Bal Masque' is a balcony that looks out on to the river at Chelsea, Curtains conceal it from the ballroom within: it is about 3.0 a.m. on a fine June morning, and the dancing is still in progress. A girl in a black domino appears through the curtains at. the back; she pauses and glances over her shoulder. Then, after letting the curtains fall, she advances on to the balcony, sinks into a chair, and, with studied artlessness, pretends to be asleep. A White Pierrot enters... he gazes at the sleeper... with a well-simulated start, she awakes.
