Summary "The Black Drama" by Gans T. Field is a work of fiction likely written in the late 1930s. This intriguing novel revolves around Gilbert Connatt, a former film star who finds himself drawn back into the theatrical world when he is offered a role by a mysterious director named Varduk. The narrative weaves a tale of ambition, artistry, and potentially dark forces at play, as Connatt grapples with his complicated past and the enigmatic people surrounding him. The opening of the story introduces Connatt at a hamburger stand as he encounters Jake Switz, a persistent friend eager to rekindle their professional connection. Jake reveals that Sigrid Holgar, an actress he once shared fame with, is preparing for a horror play directed by Varduk. Despite his reluctance to take on charity or revisit old wounds, Connatt is drawn back into the fold after Jake insists that Varduk believes in his talent. The atmosphere is tense and filled with unspoken history, setting the stage for a blend of personal drama and the eerie influences that the play and its creator may impose on Connatt and the ensemble cast. As the story unfolds, it hints at various supernatural elements tethered to the mysterious significations of the play, seemingly penned by the legendary Lord Byron.
