"If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as improbable fiction." – Twelfth Night, Act III, scene 4
Welcome to Pendon Writers' Circle! Six aspiring authors meet on a winter's evening to discuss their work. As many of them are struggling with their writing, Arnold (the host and chairman) attempts to persuade the group to collaborate on a piece of writing - his idea is shot down in flames.
With the meeting over, the five writers go home, leaving just Ilsa, the young woman who helps look after Arnold's ageing mother. Suddenly, the lights go out, and Arnold sees Ilsa, as he's never seen her before.
"Good Gracious!" .
