:: Plot / Cast ::
Successful playwright Felix Webb has a new play,
'The Hit Man', in rehearsal. Directed by his old
friend Humphrey, it is already being hailed as a
masterpiece; but Felix can't enjoy his success. He
has fallen passionately in love with Hilary, a beautiful,
fiesty young actress, and is preparing to desert his
perfect family, his wife Elena and three lively children.
His intolerable situation is further complicated when
Humphrey casts Hilary as one of the leads in 'The Hit Man'.
Enter Robin Grange, a charismatic young Hollywood actor
making his London theatre debut. Robin is attractive,
charming and dangerous, and soon inveigles his way into
everyone's life. He ingratiates himself with the cast
and, quickly grasping Felix's dilemma, sets about weaving
his web of mischief. He suggests that if he were to seduce
Elena, she would be distracted from Felix's affair, regain
her self respect, and perhaps even willingly part from the
unfaithful husband to whom she clings. Initially Felix is
outraged but as the tension mounts with Hilary, reluctant
to continue as the second woman in his life, he succumbs.
Watching in horror as Elena responds to Robin's perfectly
plotted seduction, and tormented with suspicions that Hilary
has also fallen under Robin's spell, Felix spirals towards
a kind of madness. Desperate to regain control of his life,
he indulges in a grand theatrical gesture, but fate
intervenes, and both Felix and Robin learn that real life
doesn't always follow the script.
