Summary
  1. Jerome Robbins reads his story for his unproduced work, The man and the play. In the story, an actor attends a play. In the play, a peasant leader falls in love with the count's daughter. While they embrace, he is captured by the count's guards and after a sham trial is executed. As the actor in the audience watches the play he becomes enraptured with the leading lady and fantasizes that he is onstage playing the love scene with her. After the curtain comes down the actor onstage attempts to embrace the leading lady who spurns him. The actor follows the other actors backstage, goes into a dressing room and changes into clothes which are not his. He leaves the theater, goes into the theater lobby and sees his picture on the wall. He boards the trolley home. As he approaches his house he sees the other actor, wearing his clothes, entering his house with a key. The actor stands for a while and watches, then turns and walks off down the street.
