Описание: Five Plays About the Search for Spirituality
National-award-winning playwright Mahonri Stewart continues to explore the contours of spirituality in an increasingly complicated world. This volume includes:
A Roof Overhead-The Fielding familys Mormon values conflict with their tenants atheistic beliefs. Can mutual tolerance be found, or will tragedy ruin their chances for finding common ground?
Friends of God-This play dramatizes the history of Joseph Smiths martyrdom and the controversies and dangers that led up to it.
White Mountain and The Princes House-These two short plays explore the light and dark sides of the spiritual world.
Yeshua-The New Testament Gospels are explored in new and beautiful ways.
Stewarts skill at dialogue and characterization, mingled with just the right amount of humor, drama, and pathos, anchors us to the play-we become more than mere observers. . . . What A Roof Overhead] says to Mormons is, We are not alone in the world. We need to learn to get along with others of different or, sometimes, no faith.

-Marilyn Brown, Association for Mormon Letters
Mahonri Stewarts Yeshua tells the familiar story of Jesus, but unlike so many retellings of the Saviors life, it does not play like a highlights reel of the Gospels. At its heart, Yeshua is about our need for deeply personal relationships-not only with the divine, but with all of humanity.
-Scott Hales, literary critic and award-winning cartoonist of Garden of Enid
