Jeremiah: A Drama in Nine Scenes

A dramatic nine-scene tragedy set in besieged Jerusalem follows a prophet who experiences visions and issues relentless warnings against war and human folly. Confronted by a populace craving military glory, opportunistic leaders, and a king torn between fear and counsel, he becomes increasingly isolated. Tension between pacifist conviction and militant fervor leads to public scorn, spiritual torment, betrayals, and moral reckonings. Encounters with priests, soldiers, relatives, and young adherents probe authority, conscience, and collective responsibility. The narrative traces the collapse of civic trust and the prophetic voice’s struggle to stem violence, culminating in personal suffering and an anguished plea for compassion amid the city’s impending ruin.
