Genesis: With Max McLean Max McLean

In the beginning, darkness is upon the stage and a voice declares, “Let there be light.” The light reveals a solitary actor who speaks a narrative as ancient as time, as powerful as tomorrow’s news headlines. Genesis is the Story of Stories, an eloquent telling of the first book of the Bible, a theatrical tour de force. With remarkable energy and a gift for storytelling, McLean captures the humor and pathos in Genesis’ dramatic sweep from Eden to Babel, from the immense flood of Noah to Abraham’s heart-cleaving sacrifice of his son Isaac, from the epic destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to Jacob’s soul-wounding wrestling match with the Angel of God. Passionate, fallible men and women spring to life in a story that has inspired children and baffled scholars. You’ve never known Genesis like this.
