Gregor Antonescu, a tycoon
of Hungarian origin, arrives at the Greenwich Village apartment
of his illegitimate son, Basil, for a business meeting to
discuss a highly-profitable merger. After achieving apparent
success he finds everything collapsing around him and learns
from Basil that a warrant is out for his arrest. Basil offers
help, but Gregory acquires a conscience for the first time
in his life and determines his own way out.
A revival of this tense,
physchological drama was seen to critical acclaim at the
Duchess Theatre, London, in 2005, starring David Suchet
as Gregor Antonescu.
