Millay's one-act verse play opens on a harlequinade, with the commedia dell'arte characters Pierrot and Columbine performing. Cothurnus, the Masque of Tragedy, interrupts and brings on two naive shepherds, Thyrsis and Corydon, to stage a performance as rivals; the action consumes them and they turn from friends into enemies who kill each other. Cothurnus hides their bodies under the table and lets Pierrot and Columbine resume their harlequinade. The play was first produced by the Provincetown Players in the 1919-20 season, directed by Millay.
