Alphonse Daudet
The English actress Olga Nethersole asked prominent American playwright Clyde Fitch to adapt "Sapho", telling the story from the point of view of the lead female character rather than the male character as was done with the original novel and play. Nethersole produced, directed and starred. The play's official billing is "Sapho, a play in four acts by Clyde Fitch. Founded on the novel by Alphonse Daudet, with scenes from the play by Alphonse Daudet and Adolphe Belot".
