Love is 'one of the greatest dramas of human existence,' writes Pope John Paul II. In this illuminating threeact playhere in the only English translation authorized by the Vaticanhe explores relationships between men and women, the joysand the painof love and marriage.The action unfolds in two settings at once: a street in a small town, outside the local jeweler's shop (people go to buy their wedding rings there), and the mysterious inner landscape of personal hopes and fears, loves and longings. Each act focuses on a different couple: the first happily planning their wedding, the second longmarried and unhappy, the third about to marry but full of doubts. Writing with power and understanding about a love that survives the grave, a love that has withered and died, a love budding out of complexes and insecurities, the Pope addresses such fundamental human concerns as: What does it mean to fall in love? When do we know that a love is realand can it last? If it dies, how do we go on livingand loving again? There are no easy answers, and there is no happy endingsuch is the nature of men and women, and such is the nature of lovebut there is hope, if we only acknowledge our need and accept the risks of a deep and lasting commitment.This is a play full of wisdom on a subject of great relevance to all, and it provides a special insight into the thoughts of the man who, like no other, has captured the imagination of people of all faiths throughout the world. The Jeweler's Shop has been made into a fulllength movie now available on video.Karol WojtylaPope John Paul IIhas long been involved with the theater.
