La Samaritaine, évangile en trois tableaux, en vers by Edmond Rostand

"La Samaritaine, évangile en trois tableaux, en vers" by Edmond Rostand is a verse drama written in 1897. Inspired by an episode from the Gospel of John, this three-part work tells the story of Photine, a Samaritan woman, and her encounter with Jesus. Created specifically for the legendary Sarah Bernhardt, who performed the title role at the Théâtre de la Renaissance, the play became Rostand's first major success, appearing the same year as his famous "Cyrano de Bergerac."
