Christopher Fry calls this play "A Charade with Music". The same actor plays the twins Hugo and Frederic. Hugo, fascinating and heartless, sets the charade in motion. He has invited Isabelle, a ballet dancer, to the ball that evening, intending that she should make diffident Frederic love her and leave the beautiful Diana. The would-be puppetmaster is overruled by his aunt, who arranges for the four young people to be happy.
