| Summary | "La veille d'armes: Pièce en cinq actes" by Claude Farrère and Lucien Népoty is a play written during the early 20th century, specifically set against the backdrop of World War I. The narrative revolves around the lives of naval officers and their loved ones, focusing particularly on Captain de la Croix de Corlaix as he navigates the challenges of impending war while hosting a dinner for his comrades aboard the cruiser "Alma." The story explores themes of duty, love, and the emotional toll of military life. The opening of the play sets a lively and poignant scene in the captain's quarters, filled with a mixture of camaraderie and foreboding tension as the characters enjoy their final evening of peace before possible deployment. Captain Corlaix delivers a heartfelt toast that acknowledges the sadness of their situation, highlighting the emotional weight carried by the officers, especially as they prepare for an uncertain future. The dinner table becomes a microcosm of their fears, desires, and relationships, with significant focus on Corlaix's complex feelings toward his wife, Jeanne, and his younger colleague, D'Artelles, who harbors affection for her. As conversations unfold, underlying tensions hint at the personal sacrifices and moral dilemmas that will become central as the narrative progresses, setting the stage for a gripping exploration of love and loyalty amidst the chaos of war.
