Tragedy
Denis Cannan and Pierre Bost, adapted from Graham Greene.
Characters: 28 male, 9female, extras
Unit set, frags., travellers.
In the revolutionary days of Mexico a priest decides to stay
with his people in disguise rather than escape. It is little
consolation, however. For wherever the priest goes with the Mass
and the Sacraments, the police are sure to follow executing those
who harbored him. Though he is a humanly weak priest, with a past
of many sins, he has moments of strength. He steals a bottle of
wine from a drunken official, and ends in prison. Released, he
travels to another province where he is given food and clothes, and
the people make religious processions. At ease again, he slips back
into his old pleasures. At the moment of his escape, however, he
chooses to go instead to a dying man. Here he is ambushed, and
executed. "A wonderful play. . . . Straight into the heart of a
sublime theme."-N. Y. Times.
