Went to a play last night that was
really profound. It was a drama about 14 year old Mary getting
pregnant and no one believing that she is still a virgin. Her
boyfriend Joseph, can't understand, while Mary's mother wants little
to do with her.
Social services gets involved because
first Mary is only 14 and second she says she is pregnant with God's
child. Eventually Joseph accepts his love for Mary and knows he
wants to be with her at whatever cost.
They plan to runaway but have no idea
on where to go or how they will be safe. An angel tells them to
leave Manchester and follow the bright star. They follow the star to
Liverpool and their child is born in a public restroom.
A modern day parable of the birth of
Christ. The idea was to show how the odds were stacked against Mary
and Joseph, yet their faith kept them together. An amazing play... I
never quite looked at the birth of Christ in such a way.
A great night of entertainment after a
day of getting used to the time change...
