Desire, duty, and the price of keeping secrets in a sharp stage drama.

A False Step unfolds a tense web of relationships in a society where a single affair can threaten a family, a guardian, and a trusted friend. The action centers on Eleanor Duval, her guardian and husband, and Cecila Prendergast as rumors and revelations collide with loyalty and public judgment. As the play moves from elegant parlors to crowded social rooms, the characters weigh trust, duty, and the cost of keeping a hidden truth.

  • See how concealment, money, and social pressure shape choices and consequences.
  • Experience period-appropriate dialogue, sharp wit, and mounting dramatic tension.
  • Follow a circle of players whose private lives collide with public appearances.
