Our other new translation retells the New Testament story
of Jesus’s meeting with the Samaritan woman by Jacob’s Well. The Woman of Samaria (La Samaritaine), written for Sarah Bernhardt, was first performed in April 1897, the
year which would culminate in the amazing success of Cyrano de Bergerac.
This poetic and moving play is about the power of love, human and divine, to transform our lives. Apparently even the cast found it so moving that they were in tears as the curtain fell on the last scene.
To negotiate performance rights of either play please contact the publisher at <gengepress@aol.com>.
