Rock and a Hard Place: A Contemporary Play about the Christ, Viewed through the Eyes of Simon Peter

Playwrights Shackleford and Montgomery tell Christ's story from the point of view of Simon, a young, confused fisherman. Opening on a playground in some undesignated time and place, children discover windswept pieces of paper telling a story that will affect their lives forever. Because Simon Peter, James and John, Jesus' inner circle, are the central characters, A Rock and a Hard Place concentrates upon human foibles as they relate to the ministry of Jesus. Revealed through the story is Jesus' love for all three men - not for who they had been, but for who they were going to be. Detailed staging instructions are included in the book.Montgomery, Robert is the author of 'Rock and a Hard Place: A Contemporary Play about the Christ, Viewed through the Eyes of Simon Peter' with ISBN 9780834191013 and ISBN 0834191016.
