Six Biblical Plays for Contemporary Audiences

Arts & Literature

“Dr. Branch's plays are theatrical windows into biblical narratives and human nature. Characters embody an array of emotions--from joy to fear and cockiness. Funny Bone Finds a Home is humorous. An audience or reader may chortle over the dismissive declarations of one member of the Body of Christ: 'I don't like being around you…I'd rather be out playing golf with unbelievers!' Yet upon reflection, Head's words may mirror an interior attitude that needs examination.”
