Rostand Play in English Rostand's La Princesse Lointaine
Under the Twentieth Century Club auspices a first English production of Rostand's poetical drama La Princesse Lointaine was staged with an extensive cast. The piece, based on a 12th century legend, features Rudel, his sentinel and beloved princess, and a tale of love, honor, and death on a galley voyage to Tripoli. The production notes its literary pedigree, historical translations, and the challenging modern stage demands, praising its rhythmic beauty and coherent narrative while noting limited popular appeal.
