Description
This morality tale pits a scientist, a government worker, a mistress, a deacon, and a physician against each other in a verbal battle of wits and ethics - which explodes into a violent contest: the duel. The Duel kindles an introspective challenge of the intellectual and the moral kind.
Reviews
