Overview

""BARTER a Drama in Four Acts"" is a profound religious play that explores the complex psychological and moral landscape surrounding the betrayal of Christ. Centered on the figure of Judas Iscariot, the drama delves into the internal struggles, motivations, and tragic decisions of one of history's most debated figures. Set against the monumental events of the New Testament, the narrative examines themes of faith, greed, and the ultimate cost of one's convictions, offering a dramatic interpretation of the events leading up to the Crucifixion. Written by Urban Nagle O.P., a significant figure in the development of religious theater, and Mrs. A. Starr Best, this work is a classic example of early 20th-century liturgical drama. The four-act structure allows for a detailed exploration of character and tension, humanizing the biblical narrative while maintaining a deep reverence for the source material. Through poignant dialogue and compelling scene work, ""BARTER"" challenges its audience to reflect on the nature of loyalty and the universal quest for redemption.
