To Nineveh – A Modern Miracle Play

Working Man’s Clothes Productions presents the world premiere of To Nineveh, Bekah Brunstetter’s hypnotizing, harmonic Miracle Play about the fall of an American family, and the birth of a new era. Artistic Director Isaac Byrne directs.

Rebekah and Isaac, parents to two grown sons, Jacob and Esau, struggle to make their way through their temptations, their sins, and their duties as the two young men prepare for their adulthood, and their roles in a more than normal family. For Isaac is the lawyer of God, Esau, the older son, the man to follow in his footsteps, Jacob the rebel, struggling with his own sexuality, at odds with all, but the favorite of Rebekah.

If the story sounds familiar it should. It’s the dusty Old Testament tale, told in the present, of Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Esau: the tale of the struggle for power past birthright, of the deception used to achieve, and the question of who truly deserves.
