Passion Play A Dramatic Fragment is an early and incomplete play in blank verse by George Bernard Shaw . It was written in 1878, shortly after his arrival in London at the age of 21. The play seems to be conceived as a skeptical retelling of the Gospel story in two acts. Plot The first act is set in Nazareth, where Jesus is a young man in his twenties, unhappy at his recent rejection by a local beauty named Rahab. Joseph is portrayed as a drunkard and a poor workman, and his relationship with Mary as difficult and often violent. A wealthy passing traveller called Judas arrives in search of a cabinet maker s services he and Jesus form a friendship, and set off together for Jerusalem at Judas prompting. The second act is set in Jerusalem some years later, after some marvels attributed to Jesus have happened. Judas and Jesus are still close friends, Barabbas appears as a thief preying on traders in the Temple, Mary Magdalene is Pilate s mistress and Saul one of his officers, and there is a dispute between Peter and John over who best observes their master s doctrines, but the manuscript breaks off before a resolution of these elements. Constraints on performance The play was not performable in London at the time it was written because of censorship restrictions then in place on the portrayal of Christ, but Shaw may have had hopes of getting it put on in Dublin where such constraints did not exist. Publication The play was first published nearly a century after its writing by the Windhover Press, University of Iowa in 1971. It was later republished in 1974 in volume 7 of Complete Plays with their prefaces . ref see essay on this play by the Shaw scholar Stanley Weintraub in the Times Literary Supplement , 20 July 2007 pp 13 15. ref References and footnotes Reflist George Bernard Shaw Category Plays by George Bernard Shaw ... more details

Other uses Red string disambiguation The Red Strings also Heroes of America were a group in the Southern United States during the American Civil War . They favored peace, an end to the Confederate States of America Confederacy , and a return to the Union American Civil War Union . They began early in the war as a group of Union American Civil War Unionists and Religious Society of Friends Quaker s in the Piedmont United States Piedmont regions of North Carolina and Virginia where Slavery in the United States slavery was largely nonexistent and the causes favoring secession were weakest. Origin Their name comes from their insignia of red strings worn on their lapels or hung outside of their windows to distinguish themselves from the rebels, a symbol derived from the Biblical story of Rahab . The use of the red string in the coat lapel comes from the Biblical story of the harlot Rahab , who had helped two spies of Israel escape from Jericho with a red cord, and was advised by them to hang a red thread on her window as a recognition symbol and to show her faith. Joshua , Chapter 2, Verses 18, 21, and Chapter 6, verse 23 ..thou shalt bind this line of scarlet in the window which thou didst let us down by... ...and she bound the scarlet line in the window... ...And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father s household, and all that she had.
