Rose Fire [The Script] Peter Huyck

Part experimental theater, part medieval mystery play, this 60-page script features choir monks, dual role casting, backstage as onstage, and full frontal nudity. Excerpted from "Rose Fire: The Novel," this two-act play unravels a new and officially unrecognized history of the Marian Rosary, interweaving Catholic monastic chant with vignettes of the Old Testament, the gospel of Jesus and Mary, and a modern saga of alcoholic drinking and redemption. The concept was born out of an unexpected revelation the playwright, an established rosary scholar, had while handling real-life primary texts from early Christianity. In other words, it was beamed in from outer space. Production of the play is royalty free.
