Summary: "Clair de Lune" by Michael Strange is a play written in the early 20th century. This two-act work immerses the audience in a fantastical court setting filled with intrigue, romantic entanglements, and the exploration of identity through its characters. The story centers around the Queen, the Duke's half-sister Josephine, and Gwymplane, a clown whose performance captivates but also complicates the lives of those he encounters. The opening of the play introduces a lush park where courtiers chatter about their lives and their Queen, highlighting the undercurrents of social dynamics and expectations. The Queen's desire for unique entertainment leads to the arrival of various mountebanks, including Gwymplane, who becomes entangled in the lives of the royal family. Themes of love, despair, and the search for purpose intertwine as the characters navigate their realities, setting the stage for conflicts and revelations that explore the duality of appearance versus true identity. As tension builds, the presence of both comedic and tragic elements foreshadows the complexity of love and societal norms that will unfold in the subsequent scenes.
