Just played the MP3 from the Drama.... Made me laugh anyway.
My two boys told me about the Drama, they throught the sound effects were corny.
I used to like the Drama's in the 70's we used to go to Twickenham and the Drama's were the highlight as a child. I remember the one about the Israelites coming out of Egypt, and the one about Lot.
By about the 80-90's the Drama's had got a bit stale, too much of families sitting around on the platform discussing the moral point and not enough Jezebel being thrown out of the window in my opinion.
Somthing else I had a good laugh about with my boys the other weekend was the American names used in the Drama's. Now Randy, I hope you dont take this the wrong way. In English (British English) Randy is not a name, its an adverb which means "To have an erection". So imagine my delight as a 13 year old boy with a purile sense of humour when the key character in the Drama is called 'Randy' and the words booming across the stadium refer to "Brother Randy". Of course I had to keep a straight face as I was with my parents . Looking round the stadium I noticed not one smirk from all the adults, and darent look at any of my peers, it was like the scene from Life of Brian.
The best bit was that, Brother Randy had become tempted by a girl in his local high school, which was the moral bit, so from my point of view what Brother Randy needed was not council regarding Potiphers wife, what he really needed was a good dose of Bromide.
I did wonder why, no one from the London Bethel pointed this out to Brooklyn, not one English elder thought it worth a mention. We could have had an English version, a Brother Dick..... Erm No!.... perhaps a Brother John Thomas..... erm perhaps not, Brother Bone, How about a Brother Richard Head...... the possibilities are endless.
Sorry getting more Pythonesque by the minute.....
Must stop sniggering and get back to work.
Thanks for cheering me up with the MP3.
