“A rare revival by the Metropolitan Playhouse shines up this 1862 play just fine….a thought-provoking discovery, presented by a first-rate troupe.”-Ken Jaworoski, New York Times

A Jewish refugee, forbidden by law to pass the night in an Austrian town, finds love in the heart of a Christian citizen. But, when a self-serving impostor accuses her of infidelity, her champion becomes her most zealous persecutor. Yet by braving starvation, murder, banishment, and a fiery curse, the melodramatic hearts of this timely tale find a grace all their own.
