Sarah & Abe in the Kitchen

Sarah and Abe want a baby. They've tried everything. A contemporary play inspired by my favorite moment in the Hebrew Bible, in which Sarah laughs at an angel.

Our readers connected with the humorous dynamic between the characters in this contemporary adaptation of a well-known biblical story when humans are about to give up hope and are presented with a miracle.
