"Mordecai the Jew," by Alicia Royston Ramsey, is a compelling four-act play based on the Book of Esther. Set in ancient Persia, the drama unfolds the story of Mordecai and Esther as they navigate the treacherous court of King Ahasuerus and confront the villainous Haman's plot to annihilate the Jewish people. This play brings to life the pivotal events of the Purim story, exploring themes of courage, faith, and the triumph of good over evil.
Originally published in 1916, Ramsey's work offers a dramatic interpretation of this significant biblical narrative. "Mordecai the Jew" provides an engaging perspective on a timeless story, making it a valuable addition to collections of Jewish drama and biblical literature. The play is suitable for both theatrical performance and academic study, inviting readers to reflect on the historical and religious significance of the Book of Esther.
