About this book
G.E. Lessing, widely regarded by students of theater as the world's first dramaturg, was also one of the first proponents of the German bourgeois tragedy. Miss Sara Sampson, in which a young woman runs off with a ne'er-do-well who is still entangled with his former mistress, was a reaction against the Voltarian verse drama popular in the eighteenth century. (Summary by Arielle Lipshaw) Cast: Sir William Sampson: Anthony Miss Sara Sampson, his daughter: Arielle Lipshaw Mellefont: Algy Pug Marwood, formerly Mellefont's mistress: Availle Arabella, a child, daughter of Marwood: Miss Avarice Waitwe
