Uniform Title:
Till Damaskus
Content:
A stranger stands on a street corner talking to a lady about his sufferings, fearing he has been cursed to live without contentment. She too is discontented, unhappy in her marriage to a local doctor; she allows herself to be taken away by the stranger. They remain penniless though, and he is forced into the humiliation of asking her relatives for money to support them. An accident leaves him convalescent in an asylum where he suffers a series of hallucinations, encountering many figures from his life whom he had previously wronged. These figures, as painful as they are for him to meet, prove to be his spiritual salvation. Although the first in a trilogy, this work was originally envisaged as a stand-alone play
