The tragic destruction of the SS Titanic, a proud symbol of western progress, raises questions about the direction western humanity is taking. The presence of an Egyptian mummy on board the doomed ship links ancient Egypt with contemporary western civili-zation. A deeper connection between these two epochs in human history becomes apparent. For some, the tragic sinking of the Titanic results in an awakening to the true tasks of humanity, and Western civilization in particular. Light is thrown on the unique destinies of many individuals crossing the threshold of death in the same tragic event.

This play puts the drug problems of today in a new perspective. Lin, the central figure of this drama, is based on an historical figure, a member of the Chinese nobility and one of China’s noblest sons.

Barrabas, a Jewish patriot who has murdered a Roman to uphold the dignity of his people, faults Christ for having failed to free them from the Roman occupation of Jerusalem.

The three main characters of this dramatic sketch, the Engineer, the Priest, and the Poet, representing Science, Religion, and Art, have to face the opponent of spiritual life in the Regent, the powerful world-dictator, who claims to be the exclusive ruler in every field of human existence. The Engineer and the Priest succumb to his will, but the youngest of the three, the Poet, because he is a “servant of the Word” that has risen from death, defies and finally vanquishes him. The action takes place in a prison and at an airport – on the physical, the soul, and the spiritual plane.

Adonis Play: The traditional fall festival of Adonis is performed with growing dissension in the community, as an old form is only feebly enlivened. In addition, younger groups adhering to a more instinctual feeling for nature interrupt the festival. A clash is inevitable, and tragedy is only narrowly averted through the sincere effort of all on a purely human level -- and through the experience of the central character, the Sister, which is representative for all. The healing of society’s fragmentation and religious differences is depicted in this very human drama, and thus a realistic path is shown toward creating a new Michaelmas Festival in which the true spirit of humanity triumphs.

Exodus from Egypt: The historical event of Moses’ exodus from Egypt is shown in the light of an archetypal struggle that occurs increasingly in every striving human soul.
