The paper examines the features of the image of Judith in the play of the same name by the modern playwright Elena Isaeva, in which the author relies on the story described in the Book of Judith, which was a part of the Old Testament. Comparison with the original biblical myth allows us to conclude that it has been significantly transformed in the play. Isaeva does not limit herself to describing the clash of Assyrians and Jews, she muffles the bloody conflict.
