In The Beginning Previews

Presented by Dallas Theater Center & SMU

Description

Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, and many other vivid Biblical characters come to life in a collection of classic short plays that were among the first ever written in the English language.

Step back in time to discover the magic of these rarely produced plays that bring to life your favorite stories from the book of Genesis. Marvel at the mix of poetry and pageantry that makes these medieval plays as compelling today as they were more than 500 years ago. Delight in a lively, contemporary production of these plays that recaptures the down–to–earth faith that originally inspired them. You'll understand why crowds in 15th century England thronged churchyards and market squares to enjoy these spiritually uplifting yet often raucously entertaining plays. In an era of rampant corruption, disease, and despair–these simple, intense dramas offered a powerful reminder of God's covenant with humankind. The wonders of the modern age with all our technological achievements have not dispelled our spiritual yearning to connect with something beyond ourselves. Now you can share in a timeless theatrical experience that continues to bear a message of hope and faith.

Show officially opens January 27. Purchase tickets online or by calling 214-522-8499.
