Judith of Bethulîa, a Tragedy

Aldrich writes in the preface to this work, "This play--written for Miss Nance O'Neil and produced at the Tremont Theatre, Boston, October 13, 1904--is in part a dramatization of the author's narrative poem 'Judith and Holofernes.' Although it contains lines and passages from the story, the drama is essentially a distinct work, dealing with characters, incidents, and situations not to be found in the poem or in the apocryphal episode upon which both pieces were based."
