When Charles Arrowby, over sixty, a demi god of the theatre—director, playwright and actor—retires from his glittering London world in order to “abjure magic and become a hermit”, it is to the sea that he turns. He hopes at least to escape from “the woman”—but unexpectedly meets one whom he loved long ago. His buddhist cousin, James, also arrives. he is menaced by a monster from the deep. Charles finds his ‘solitude’ peopled by the drama of his own fantasies and obsessions.
