My Genge Press was set up in 2005 to publish (and sometimes translate) works by and about Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac. You already list Thom Christoph's verse translation: The Two Pierrots (see additional info below). This year we have published two contrasting plays in translation: The Woman of Samaria and The Last Night of Don Juan. These are published together as Sacred and Profane Love.
