Excerpt from Acting Version of Henry W. Savage's Production of Every-Woman: Her Pilgrimage in Quest of Love; A Modern Morality Play
While "Everywoman" is absolutely a modern play as regards characterization, action and environments, it is fashioned after the model of the ancient morality plays, those products of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries of which "Everyman" is the best known example.
While every character in "Everywoman" is symbolical of various abstract virtues, vices and conditions, I have endeavored to make them also concrete types of actual men and women of the present day. It was my object to present an allegory, in the shape of a stage play, sufficiently dramatic and soul-stirring in its story and action to form an attractive entertainment, quite apart from its psychological significance.
"Everywoman" is intended to afford pleasure and entertainment to all classes of intelligent playgoers - hence the music, the songs, and choruses, the dances, the spectacular and scenic effects, and the realism of everyday life.
It is not a sermon in disguise, neither is it a quixotic effort to elevate the stage. At the same time it is hoped that the play may be found to contain some clean and wholesome moral lessons.
