AN EXPERIMENT IN RELIGIOUS DRAMA.—A scene from “The Story of Jonah,” which will be staged in St. Michael’s Church, Oxford terrace, this evening and on the two following evenings. It shows storm-wrecked sailors threatening Jonah (Michael Keith). The play, a dramatised version of the Book of Jonah, is presented by members of St Michael’s congregation with guest actors from other churches. This week’s Cathedral leaflet describes the play as “an experiment in religious drama ... the Old Testament can really come alive like this.” The producer is Wendy de la Bere. The 30 actors are divided into three groups—the chorus, the sailors, and the Ninevites.
