ARIA DA CAPO

A PLAY IN ONE ACT

 1920

 By Edna St. Vincent Millay

 

 [The curtain rises on a stage set for a Harlequinade, a merry

 black and white interior. Directly behind the footlights, and

 running parallel with them, is a long table, covered with a gay

 black and white cloth, on which is spread a banquet. At the

 opposite ends of this table, seated on delicate thin-legged

 chairs with high backs, are Pierrot and Columbine, dressed

 according to the tradition, excepting that Pierrot is in lilac,

 and Columbine in pink. They are dining.]
