In 1972, in a small salon at a chateau on the outskirts of Paris, three icons linger after a night of excess following a masquerade ball: Baroness Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, the surrealist Salvador Dalí, and a glittering, intoxicated Elizabeth Taylor. What begins as a playful conversation, soon becomes an unmasking of confession and ego as they confront the cost of artifice, celebrity, and mortality. Inspired by a true event, Unmasked at Dawn is a one-act play about performance as survival, and the terror of silence when it ends, that feels uncannily of our time.
