Within and Without: A Dramatic Poem
Brother Julian became a monk because he thought that was how he would find God. But now, feeling further away from God than ever and rejected by his brother monks, he decides to break his monk's vows and re-enter into the world and the complicated relationships it holds. This dramatic poem was MacDonald's first published work. While it was not a financial success, it is interesting to a student or fan of MacDonald, because it explores themes and ideas that would continue to characterize his work later in life. - Summary by Devorah Allen Cast List: Julian: Larry Wilson Brother Robert: redrun Brother Stephen: Alan Mapstone First Monk: Inkell Second Monk: ToddHW Third Monk: Joanna Michal Hoyt Fourth Monk: David Purdy Abbot: Stefan Von Blon Nurse: Lynette Caulkins Man: Adrian Stephens Woman: Agnes Robert Behr Host: Elijah Fisher Hostess: Joanna Michal Hoyt First Servant: redrun Second Servant: David Purdy Count Nembroni: Addison Cooper Lilia: Jenn Broda Steward: ToddHW Waggoner: Inkell Mob 1: B.J.
