Overview
JOSHUA, MY SON is a most unusual play about the Lord, Jesus Christ. It was specifically written for the stage. It does not require large groups of people on stage at the same time. Very little scenery is needed. The major focus is on Jesus and His teaching. The miracles performed by Jesus are not depicted on stage. The only miracle in this play is the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Even here, we do not see a tomb. We only see the risen Lazarus emerging from stage left. The crucifixion scene occurs off-stage. Only the voice of Joshua is heard from stage right. A most unusual approach was taken in the presentation of the Incarnation and infancy narratives. A Passover Seder was used as the background for the narration of this part of the story. A presentation of this play would be an excellent way of celebrating the Easter Holiday.
