Summary
Richmond, Virginia 1811. At the city's only theatre, the Placide & Green acting troupe puts on two plays a night. In the third-floor boxes, sits newly widowed Sally Henry Campbell. One floor away, Cecily Patterson is grateful for a reprieve from a life that has recently gone from bad to worse. Backstage, Jack Gibson hopes he'll be offered a job. And on the other side of town, Gilbert Hunt dreams of being able to bring his wife to the theatre. When the theatre goes up in flames, Sally, Cecily, Jack and Gilbert make a series of decisions that will not only affect their own lives but those of countless others. And as news of the disaster spreads, the paths of these four people will become forever intertwined
