In the dining room of the Beauregard Private Hotel, Bournemouth, visiting guest Anne Shankland is finishing dinner. When hotel proprietress Pat Cooper shows in resident John Malcolm to sit at a separate table, Anne is instantly alert. As the evening and the following day unfold it becomes clear that despite John’s current liaison with Pat, a passionate undercurrent from the past linking him with Anne is still very much alive:
“Our two needs for each other are like two chemicals that are harmless by themselves, but when
brought together in a test tube can make an explosive as deadly as dynamite.” (John, Act 2)
