Why the Lord Came to Sand Mountain
Author(s):
Romulus Linney
In WHY THE LORD COME TO SAND MOUNTAIN, The Lord and Saint Peter eschew the hospitality of a wealthy lowland farmer and, instead, pay an unexpected call on an impoverished mountain couple, who live in blissful ignorance with their fourteen illegitimate children. While The Lord and Saint Peter may not approve of the family's primitive life style, they are warmed by their lively company (and their jug of brandy) and begin to swap the sort of tall tales with which hill people seek to outdo each other, culminating in an hilarious retelling of the story of Joseph and Mary which puts The Lord in such an expansive mood that he is moved to bestow a miracle on his awe-struck hosts--with delightfully humorous results. Both plays call for 4 men, 2 women, 1 boy, and both may be presented with simplified settings and a minimum of props. While designed to be produced together as a single bill, the plays may be presented separately with equal effectiveness.
