## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A furnace-wind dries sheets on the veranda. A lone British soldier counts his steps between tables. His uniform becomes a waiter’s coat. Behind closed shutters, Field Marshal’s maps unroll like funeral shrouds.

The counterfeit server watches Rommel’s boots at dinner. One word, one bullet—then the bed linen shifts in the night.

Wilder’s war-room farce clicks shut like a safe.

**Mood tags**: playful
