Plague Play

Does violence simply beget more violence? Plague Play is an intimate piece focused on the plagues of Egypt cast by God onto the Pharaoh and his subjects as punishment for the enslavement of the Hebrew people in the Book of Exodus. The play follows Aaron and Moses’ family and how the plagues torment them physically, psychologically and spiritually. Aaron discovers his body is simply a vessel to destroy a civilization. Supernatural disasters ravage his oppressors, as well as his own body, mind and soul. His little brother, Moses, is able to see what is to come … and it’s not very pretty. This is a play about a family waiting for light to finally shine through the darkness, not realizing they are part of the group that turned off the lights. They are frightened, they are emboldened and they have no idea what they’re actually doing.
