Dear Antoine by Jean Anouilh. A group of people is summoned to a remote baroque mansion in the Bavarian mountains to hear the reading of the Will of successful playwright Antoine de Saint Flour in the winter of 1913. The reluctant group includes the playwright's wife, a few friends and several ex-mistresses.
In confronting one another they are uneasily aware that they are facing different reflections of Antione's fascinating and maddening personality.
Poignant and fiercely witty, it displays to the full Anouilh's theatrical sleight of hand.
