Ben Hur
| Author: Patrick Barlow | |
| Premiered: 2012 | Work Type: Play |
| Description: Patrick Barlow's Ben Hur is a comedic stage adaptation of Lew Wallace's classic novel, condensing the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur into a play performed by a small cast (often four actors) who portray multiple roles, including the main characters and the amateur theatre troupe producing the show. The play follows the original plot of betrayal, slavery, and chariot racing, but with a humorous, minimalist approach, similar to Barlow's other works like The 39 Steps. | |
