Here Scott And Zelda Fitzgerald, Often Seen As Symbols Of The Doomed Youth Of The Jazz Age, Become Two Halves Of A Single Creative Psyche, Each Part Alternately Feeding And Then Devouring The Other. Set In Highland Hospital Near Asheville, North Carolina, Where Zelda Spent Her Last Confinement, This Ghost Play Begins Several Years After Scotts Death Of A Heart Attack In California. But The Past Is Still Always Present In Zelda, And Williamss Constant Shifting Of Chronology And Mixing Of Remembrance With Ghostly Reenactment Suggest That Our Real Intimacy Is With The Shadow Characters Of Our Own Minds.

Whose Betrayalemotional, Creative, Sexualdestroyed The Other? But He Poses These Questions In A New Way: In The Act Of Creation, Zelda And Scott Are Now Aware Of Their Eventual Destruction, And The Creative Fire That Consumed Two Artists Combines Symbolically With The Fire That Ended Zeldas Life.
