Faith

by Matt Barbot

[10 MIN/MONOLOGUE] Abraham's son won't talk to him, and it's all God's fault. Now Abraham's got a bone to pick with God. Does faith always mean doing the right thing? Does faith make things that seem wrong right?

    This monologue is beautiful and gets into the humanity of the story of Abraham and Isaac in a way that the Bible sure doesn't. I'm a big fan of plays that are Bible story adaptations, and this is one of the best ones I've read.

    An incredibly fresh look at one of the most troubling Bible stories. I've never considered the aftermath of this story. The fear and doubt, both within Isaac and Abraham. All the time a quiet God watches the suffering. A very powerful monologue that would be incredible to see performed.

    Very powerful monologue ,laden with angst and the struggle to believe.. A new take on an old story which is vivid and moving. The language is poetic and propelled by a driving rhythm. A gift for a lucky actor,
