Marion Craig Wentworth’s play was a runaway success in America in 1915 and made into a 1916 film before being banned when the USA joined World War I.
The play was directed by Conrad Toft and starred Peyton Cimino, Izzy Poston, Joanna Patrick, Richard Daly, Amanda E. Ekdahl, Gareth Lewis & Andy Blumenthal.
ECC Brussels also took this one-act play to the FEATS (Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Society) in Hamburg on 24 May 2015.
