In a Bad Way – a drama script about the good samaritan
The parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) raises the question: why did two apparently holy men walk on by? This story is probably so familiar that we just see the characters in black and white, two bad guys and a good guy, but for the audience who first heard the story it had a surprise, shock ending.
We can’t restore the shock, but by giving the “bad guys” plausible motives we can begin to ask ourselves more honestly, what would we have done?
