Description "An Irish and a Japanese dramatist explore romance from the uniquness of their culture," says the poster.The Well of the Saints is about a decrepit, blind, old couple who make their living sitting at a cross-road begging and collecting pith for sale. They love each other deeply and believe each other to be beautiful, but when a passing saint gives their sight back and they discover how earthily ugly they are, their true vision of each other alters...there is a tension between youthful romantic yearning and the grim facts of decay.
