A new Radius typescript:
Ben Who by Sherwood Edwards, a two-acter
in quick-fire verse and prose, telling the story of the main events
in Jesus’s life in comic style with a modern background.
Opening with the recorded message “Mary’s not available
to take your call” the first act moves briskly through the teaching
and miracles, with verse reminiscent of rap alternating with straight
quotations from the gospels. Act Two is necessarily darker but the transition
is lightly done. For 6m, 1w, this is a script that seems to invite gender-blind
casting. A photocopiable typescript is available
@ £5 from the Publications Editor. |
