Chapter One:
During a break in classes at Daybreak College
in the theater wing of the Schall Performing Arts Center a group of Theater
majors lounged casually in the green room, where their discussions revolved
around the recent production of Tennessee Williams’ one-act play “The
Confessional.”
Antony Fedora coldly bemoaned that he found
it to be too symbolic and contrived for his taste, Isaac Gore argued precisely the
contrary, while Peter Ivanovich, having acted the role of bartender in the play
felt obliged to remain aloof from the discussion even though he agreed with
Antony’s position and instead was thumbing through the campus newspaper, the
Daybreak Sunrise, which he had just retrieved from his mailbox in the student
center.
