With no audience to cheer, at a jester's direction, Salthe performs her past. To learn the reason for her death. To return to the world of life. Each scene is full of scorn and mockery, she writhes and struggles, through to the end of the tale of Salthe 's life—a comedy—— Dramatis Personae Salthe: The star of this performance, known far and wide as the finest actress in Mersin's national theatre troupe.
