“The Jeweler’s Shop” – a play by Karol Wojtyła published in 1960, is the most well-known play of the future Pope John Paul II.
It is a story of three couples who meet in front of a jeweler’s shop, and while trying on wedding rings, they examine their consciences regarding their own lives and love.
The young look toward the future with hope, but also with fear. The older ones look back at their lives and, with both fear and hope, ask what remains of their love.
Karol Wojtyła’s play is an “inner drama” about love — about longing for it, about its absence, and about hope for love. The mystery around which the entire drama revolves is the sacrament of marriage.
The performance will conclude a three-week theater workshop of Angelicum students.
Admission is free.
