Genre: Theological Drama/Dark Epic
Word Count: Approx. 1,200 Published: The God Who Breaks: Old Testament Plays of Rebellion and Despair (2025) Synopsis: A reluctant prophet, burdened by doubt, is called from obscurity by a terrifying divine presence to confront a powerful and arrogant ruler. Tasked with demanding freedom for an enslaved people, the prophet and his spokesman enter the gilded heart of a mighty empire. They face a Pharaoh whose pride and perceived divine mandate render him immovable. What follows is a harrowing confrontation where the natural world twists into an instrument of cosmic struggle. As the land reels under escalating catastrophes, the conflict deepens—pitting human defiance against inexorable divine will, crumbling the certainty of false gods, and forcing all to confront the devastating cost of liberation and the chilling nature of power, both mortal and divine. The play explores the collision of faith, free will, and the terrifying spectacle of a world unraveling under forces beyond human control. |
