Publisher's Synopsis
A one act comedy in the Viennese style. In a restuarant, about the year 1900, a vain but ageing actor, Max, who still believes he can dazzle a pretty young dancer, hopes to make love to the innocent and romantic Elsa. At the same time, Julia, an actress who has left her youth behind but is still not entirely without allure, is entertaining a young playwright, Florian, who believes- or pretends to believe - that he is being wined and dined merely to talk about his new play.
