Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faithful: A Tragedy in Three Acts This play is written to be played uninterruptedly, without more break in the action than is necessary to get the actors off the stage and to raise the screen or curtain dividing the scenes. There are only two scenes: one the front part of the stage, left quite bare, without decoration, but with a screen, set, or backcloth at the back, representing a Japanese landscape, with hills and water, all wintry and severe; the other, the back of the stage, visible when this screen is lifted, a room in a Japanese palace, very beautiful, but bare, save for a few flowers and a picture or two. A few minutes may elapse between Acts I and II, and a slightly longer wait between Acts II and III. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
