Every mother thinks her child Divine—what if it were true?
Miriam has a problem. She’s engaged to an older, rich man but she’s with child despite the fact that she has “known not a man.” Her parents are no help and her betrothed, Joseph, for all his prayers, doesn’t believe in miracles. Everyone insists he accept this child as ‘King of the Jews’ but is this the same King those three ‘Magi’ are looking for or are they just out for a buck? As Miriam’s womb grows Joseph must make a decision -- let wife and child die or believe the impossible and discover Love? A comedy written by a Jewish mother about the ultimate Jewish Mother, this play investigates the politics of sex and the politics of religion within the story of the coming of the new messiah.
