Eureka! Classics | ”Today as yesterday, endlessly rocking, ever bringing the same human passions, the same joys and sorrows.”
From the Babylonian era to the (1916) present day, four stories of intolerance and inhumanity (Modern, Babylonian, Judean and French) interweave to form an amazing spectacle that gains momentum as it moves towards a powerful and memorable climax.
Lillian Gish features as the woman in the linking motif of a mother rocking a cradle.
”Each story shows how hatred and intolerance, through the ages, have battled against love and charity. Therefore you will find our play turning from one of the four stories to another, as the common theme unfolds in each.”
