Helen Waddell’s two-act play follows Binzuru, a favored disciple who falls from grace after being captivated by a passing woman. The first act takes place in the Buddha’s sacred grove; the second moves forward many centuries to the temple at Asakusa.
The contrast between spiritual detachment and human affection gives the drama its comic and reflective turns. This complete 1919 text includes the prologue, both acts and the original stage directions; the play was first performed in Belfast in 1915.
