a time of celebration!
making great progress on my play based on The Book of Esther.
I am imagining a Bat-Mitzvah giving her speech after reading from the Megillah. As she relays the story and its meaning to her, the action shift to the time of Esther and her story unfolds before our eyes. The Bat-Mitzvah's speech is intertwined with Esther's story and both reveal great truths about the Book, themselves and the plight of the Jewish people.
CAST
REBEKAH ISAACS - our Bat-Mitzvah, 13
ESTHER - Mordecai's cousin, and newly-selected Queen to Achashverosh
MORDECAI - the Chief Rabbi of Shushan and member of the Jewish Supreme Court, the Sanhedrin
HAMAN - the wicked descendent of Amalek who seeks to annihilate the Jews
KING ACHASHVEROSH - a grubby man who picks his wife through a beauty contest and accepts bribe money for the destruction of the Jews
VASHTI - the depose Queen whom Esther replaces
