Sapientia
- Mother Wisdom
by Hrotsvitha, in a new translation by Tessa Hart

Sapientia (Wisdom) comes to Rome to teach love and truth but the local rulers, Emperor Hadrian and his henchman Antiochus, try to silence her by torturing her three daughters Fides (Faith), Spes (Hope) and Caritas (Charity).

A rarely produced play from the 10th century by prominent Medieval writer Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim, the first post-classical dramatist & the first known female playwright.

We are currently in the early stages of development for this new project currently scheduled for a production in 2018/2019.

Further details to follow in due course.

She wrote in Latin, and is considered to be the first person since antiquity to compose drama in the Latin West as well as being the first known female playwright,
