Saint Genest And Venceslas (1907)

Saint Genest and Venceslas is a play written by Jean Rotrou and first published in 1646. The play tells the story of two saints, Saint Genest and Saint Venceslas, who are both martyred for their faith. Saint Genest is a former actor who converts to Christianity and is subsequently persecuted by the Roman authorities. Saint Venceslas is a prince who is betrayed by his own brother and killed for his beliefs. The play explores themes of faith, loyalty, and sacrifice, and is considered one of Rotrou's most important works.
