Synopsis

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Millay's best and most famous work.

A true masterpiece -- beautiful, delicate and poetic.

An atmosphere of naive simplicity characterizes the play and throws into relief its deft allegory: the folly of man's hatreds and jealousies and the thoughtlessness which makes them possible.

At the prompting of a tragic muse, two shepherds interrupt a harlequinade, innocently kill each other, and the harlequinade continues unaffected.

An intensely effective play of universal appeal.

Press Reviews

"Clever and playful, using the classical forms to lightly score its social points."

— SF Bay Guardian

"5 out of 5!"

— The Cambridge Student
