Synopsis

The story of Samson and Delilah has been passed down through generations as a tale warning against the wiles of an unreligious woman. Whether her betrayal was motivated by the money she was offered by her lover’s enemies, or by her own lust for power, Delilah’s infamy has lived for hundreds of years. But what if she truly cared for her lover and never wished him harm? This play depicts what transpires when a woman must choose between protecting the life of the man she loves and the possibility of losing that love forever. This is a tale of devotion and betrayal, attempting to shed new light on an anciently villainous character, and showing what might have happened to the most famous femme fatal in biblical history.
“Can a betrayal be an act of love? Can a traitor also be a savior?
Can a woman wear more than one face?”
