Description
Excerpt from Six One-Act Plays: The Hand of the Prophet Children of Granada the Turtle Dove This Youth-Gentlemen the Striker Murdering Selina
Scene - A room in the home of Halima. Music and laughter are heard, and as the curtain is drawn, a slave girl is seen finishing a wild dance. As she sinks exhausted to the floor there are applause and sounds of approval, in which the merchant Kodama leads. He is seated beside his bride, Halima, on a dais. In the room are slaves, attendants and mem bers of the two families. The wedding celebration is in progress, and all are in festal mood and dress. Rose petals are strewn on the floor, platters heaped with fruits are at the front and side of the stage, and incense is burning in two braziers.
Kodama - Thy slave dances with the grace of a startled gazelle. Command her again before night comes. I am pleased with her!
