In this witty and sophisticated play, Israel Zangwill exposes the hypocrisy and greed of the Victorian middle class. A young artist is hired by a wealthy family to create a statue of their dead daughter, but soon discovers a web of deceit and corruption that leads him to question his own integrity. Plaster Saints is a timeless masterpiece of social satire and moral indignation.
