Résumé
This play looks at a summary in Matthew 1:18-19.¹ The summary discloses that Joseph learns of Mary's pregnancy and chooses to divorce her. The play, based on this summary, investigates how he may have learned of her pregnancy, that is, from Mary herself.² The play combines scholarship and the standard literary features of a drama-character, conflict, plot, setting, point of view, tone and dialogue.³ It includes material from Luke 1, Deuteronomy 22:21-29 and Numbers 30:6-8. The play encourages and engages the imagination of the cast and the audience.4
