It's curious when a novel and a person connect, and one seems empty. Does that emptiness always belong to the book? Noël Coward portrays “Tony,” a publisher who holds himself in high regard and is attended by people who aren’t particularly invested in him—he certainly isn’t in them. Even those closest to him are just tools for his success. His world shifts when he encounters "Cora" (Julie Haydon), whose straightforward response to his self-serving actions makes him think she might be destined for a relationship with him. However, she has no such plans and disappears to Bermuda. He goes after her, but as the saying goes, that triangle can bring trouble. Now, he’s given one month to elicit a real tear from someone or face something worse than death. It's then that he understands—and we do too—how insincere his existence has been and how superficial “Tony” truly is; however, unless he locates "Cora"... The writing occasionally offers moments of cleverness, but the initial thirty minutes feel a bit drawn out. Coward’s arrogance and self-importance are evident from the start, so an extended introduction to his character felt unnecessary. But when the story delves into more philosophical themes, it becomes a touching examination of dishonesty, conflicting values, greed, and even a touch of compassion and affection. The pivotal moment relies on Haydon's subtle yet impactful performance, which allows her to stand out amidst Coward’s presence.
