It is set in rural England within a single day in 1939. Worlds meet, but never unite. Miss La Trobe has organised a pageant, a dramatic version of 'Orlando'. During the performance the spectators are held together. Unity apprears to be triumphant. But not for long. When the play ends they fall apart again. And even between the acts the semblance of unity is lost...
'Miss La Trobe is Virginia Woolf's burlesque of herself as artist, and through her she states the truth about the artist and his unceasing endeavour to make his audience see'.
