No Star Shines Sharper - A Verse Play for Epiphany
4 Male, 2 Female
Barbara Ann Blatner Price: $7.95
Imagine Mary - She’s about to be married to Joseph, and not particularly
interested in having children. When she “conjures” an angel who tells
her she’ll bear a child, she’s angry, frightened and confused
Imagine one of the three Wise Men - he’s dissatisfied with himself, and asks two old friends to pursue a strange Star in the East that he believes will lead him to a new enemy, against whom he can prove himself
Imagine Joseph - confused with his wife’s news, helpless at the birth, he slowly gives way to the beauty and wonder of this baby
This strikingly contemporary play, written in moving but accessible verse,
enters the minds of these characters and others, liberating them from the
iconographies where they have been enshrined over the ages. Can be presented
during Christmas as a simple reading, or as a full production. Minimal
rehearsal required
