My nephew and I are writing what I think is a different idea for a
play. At least I have never heard of it before. First I wrote the basic
outline for the Christmas portion. It begins with a grandfather telling
the Christmas story to his little grandaughter. You also see the
reaction of heaven and hell(satan, demons, heavenly angels, etc.). Hell
knows something is up and satan sends his imps to spy and finds out the
plan of salvation. Also all the ways satan tries to stop the "plan"
from coming about. Well the unusual thing is, at the end, there is a
continuation. That's when you invite everyone to come back at Easter
for the part II. That's the best part! There is a great battle between
heaven and hell just after the part where satan thinks he's won because
Jesus was murdered on a cross. The battle begins when Jesus makes his
"grand" entrance into hell to take the keys. Our young people should do
quite well at it. We have quite a drama department. Anyway, the only
conflict is, the play isn't finished being written yet. If anyone is
interested let me know and I'll see if I can send you a completed copy
of it when it's finished. =}
