 SYNOPSIS

This is based on the Story of Sarah and Abraham with a modern-day setting. Sarah prayed for a baby but got impatient when her answer was not immediate. She then encourages her husband to have a child with her handmaid because she doubted it would ever be possible for her to bear a child herself. In this play she figured instead of waiting she should consult with another pharmacy. This decision, as in the case of Hagar, did not work out in the best interest of Sarah. In the end, things fell in place when she let go of the situation and placed it in God’s hand.

(Genesis 16, 17, 18: 1-17, 21: 1-8)
