Neith Boyce's one-act play has the distinction of being the first play produced by the Provincetown Players. Loosely basing her characters Moira and Rex upon Mabel Dodge and John Reed, Boyce explored the toll taken on a relationship by the man's desire for free love, while the woman prefers constancy. When the woman loved the man, she virtually gave up her identity for him, and now that she finds herself happier, having forgiven him for his infidelity and viewing him as a friend, he self-absorbedly sees her as the inconstant one.
