Gisippus is a play in five acts, written by Gerald Griffin and first performed at Drury Lane in 1842. The play is set in ancient Rome and tells the story of Gisippus, a young man who falls in love with Sophronia, the daughter of a wealthy senator. However, Sophronia is already promised to Titus, a soldier who saved her father's life. Gisippus and Titus become close friends, and Gisippus ultimately sacrifices his own happiness to ensure that Sophronia and Titus can be together. The play explores themes of love, friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice, and features a cast of complex and compelling characters. Griffin's writing is characterized by its poetic language, vivid imagery, and emotional depth. Overall, Gisippus is a powerful and thought-provoking play that continues to resonate with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
