The Christmas Interludes I

The Christmas Interludes II
by Thornton Wilder
Synopsis
“The scene being made plain showeth forth that stable in Bethlehem...”
This Interlude moves from the kitchen of the inn to the stable, where Maria rests with her new-born infant while Joseph watches over them.
A serving maid enters bringing grain, news and irony – she has a sad younger brother whose name is Judas.
Set in verse, Wilder’s odd-ball celebration of the miracle of the birth does not neglect the shadows that lie ahead, among them Judas and the shroud.
