Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a dramatic collection of six thought-provoking plays, is a journey through time and history. In Toscana Tavern, the story of betrayal and murder in a turn of the 20th Century American tavern is set against the tragedy of a mother's abandonment by her son. With Onesimus, the author explores the personal story of a slave on the run and broader themes of justice, mercy, and compassion in biblical times. From a Victorian satire, Mr. Fraser's Friends, through a look at the Italian desperadoes in In Toscana Tavern, to the biblical world of The Wise Man of Ninevah, the author draws parallels between human strengths and weaknesses, across cultures and millennia. Each play is an exploration of the human condition and a reflection of the common threads that bind us together, regardless of time and place.
