    Don't be quick to dismiss this play as something shocking like Thomas Bradshaw's Job. It's a respectful imagining of a year later for the holiest family. This is a heart-warming play! This is one of the few plays I know that makes Joseph, an underappreciated literary/historical, relatable. He's got his doubts, he's imperfect. He's striving to do the very best for his wife and his child, the Son of God. The showdown with the Centurion is captivating and it reveals the heroic character of Joseph. My favorite Guyton play (so far)!
