Behind the News: Report From Bethlehem
A Christmas Play

N. J. Lindquist

 

If we had been able to look on by satellite television when Jesus was born, what would have been considered newsworthy?

This innovative 2-act play, written to be performed live or using videotaped interviews, follows a North American news show’s attempt to determine why all the baby boys in Jerusalem were murdered by Herod’s soldiers.

Studio hosts Paula and Jack put the pieces together as investigative reporters Madeline (in Bethlehem) and Frank (in Jerusalem) talk to a scribe from the royal palace, one of the killer soldiers, a couple of otherworldly Magi, an earnest innkeeper and his wife, two simple-yet-not-so-simple shepherds, a couple from Mary and Joseph’s home town of Nazareth, and an old woman named Anna who spends most of her time in the temple at Jerusalem.

At the conclusion, the reporters (along with the viewers) have to decide if this story will affect their lives.
