Came Darkness: The Curse of Job
 
More information on scripts from TerenceKuch.
“Came Darkness: The Curse of Job” is a play for voices and is available for no-fee licensing by churches and other non-profit groups. This play is dramatized from the book of Job and the sermons of John Donne about Job. It emphasizes the glories of the inspired language of this most poetic book of the Bible, and the soaring rhetoric of John Donne, the poet and most famous preacher of his day.
John Donne delivers a Lenten sermon to King James and his court on a text from Job. Donne introduces and comments on the dialogue between Job and his ‘friends’ (accusers). Gradually, Donne is drawn into the dialogue himself, and confides his own fears. God speaks, and Job is reconciled. Eight years later, Donne delivers his last sermon, and he also is reconciled, after a fashion.
