Summary
A human drama examining the Biblical incident of the blind man receiving his sight at the pool of Siloam. The casual disbelief of Lydia and Jochanah, the vehement rejection by the Pharisees, the guilty evasion by the mother Susannah, even the hilarious confusion of the bumbling servant Lemuel, blend to produce tears, laughter, and insight. Using a similar dramatic structure to that in Ten Miles to Jericho, this popular playwright has woven a deeply moving play.
