The home in which this play takes place has "never been refurnished," as "each careless aristocrat has thrown into the room what he liked as child," and it opens with the maid Anise sorting mail.
The home in which this play takes place has "never been refurnished," as "each careless aristocrat has thrown into the room what he liked as child," and it opens with the maid Anise sorting mail. The only mail for this play's antagonist is "an invitation to a lower-class embassy tea" and a large number of ($) bills. That antagonist is shot after demanding a ten thousand dollar bribe from the protagonist, who intends to rescue his friend Max Friedrich. The protagonist of this play has kids named Babette and Bodo, and is visiting the Farellys, who live twenty miles from Washington DC. The (*) Romanian count Teck de Brancvois finds a suitcase with money and a gun, and threatens to turn Kurt Muller in if he returns to Nazi Germany. For ten points, identify this play set on the eve of American involvement in World War II, written by Lillian Hellman.
