THE STORY: THE HASTY HEART tells of a wounded Scottish soldier whose last few weeks of life, spent in a convalescent ward of a hospital in the Orient, are changed by the sympathetic treatment his fellow patients try to give him—and his stubborn rejection of this. The man’s extreme independence of spirit nearly wrecks the good intentions of those who want to make him happy, but at last—particularly after he falls in love with the nurse—he learns the great lesson of love for his neighbor.
“A fine, funny, strangely fascinating play. Tense, touching and tender.” —New York Journal-American.
