Night with Mrs. Da Tanka

'A Night with Mrs da Tanka is a play for two men and one woman. For the past thirty-one years Mr Mileson has been coming to the hotel in the seaside town where long ago he fell in love with his lost childhood sweetheart, Cynthia. On this occasion, however, he encounters the strange Mrs da Tanka --could she be, he thinks for a mad moment, Cynthia returned? Mrs da Tanka, who says she is waiting for someone who is not going to arrive, manages to trap Mileson in her bedroom and involves him in a situation combining the ludicrous, the horrifying and the near tragic. Finally the truth of his attitude towards Cynthia is forced from him, and throughout he is never sure whether this strange woman might not, after all, be his erstwhile love.'
