WHEN FELIX IS diagnosed with a terminal illness, will he insist on Marie fulfilling her rash vow to die with him? Or will she get away in time, without shattering her ideal of how she ought to behave with her dying lover?
Schnitzler’s talent as a dramatist shines through in this engrossing and shocking psychological study set in fin de siècle Vienna.
