One of the earliest and cruelest examples of quarantine, the banishing of a leper, is the leaping off point The Prophet M. The play reimagines an ancient tale from the Book of Numbers in which Miriam spends 7 fateful days alone in the desert after angering G-d (and Moses), and explores the concept of faith, asking what it means to believe in the unbelievable during times of profound societal change.

The Prophet M is a suitcase play, which means that it is a play meant to be performed by actors who don’t need fancy props, sets, lights, or costumes in order to perform it.
