Excerpt from Quentin Durward: A Dramatic Adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's Novel, in Three Acts and Three Scenes
Quentin Durward is not intended to be a strict dramatization of Sir Walter Scott's novel, but rather a play based on the dramatic situations in his story. New incidents and characters have been introduced and some of the Old ones omitted, with the intention of producing a unified and dramatic whole. The play was written for the Campus Performance of the Yale Dramatic Association, which necessitated a return to the direct methods of the Greek drama.
