Many variations on Jesus’ famous parable of rebellion, repentance and forgiveness, using a range of styles, alphabet games, accents, themes, viewpoits, plot types and poetic forms. Loads of creative fun, exposition and commentary along the way.
Versions include homages to AA Milne, Spike Milligan and PG Woodhouse, and a full Abba-based musical; limericks, haiku, sestina and sonnet; a menu and a timetable, use of all the names of the US presidents, number one hits of sixty decades, top flight footballers and test cricketers, a tv interview and a selection of puns based on tube stations and classic composers. Also included: alliterative renderings, versions using only works from the Greek, maximising a Star Trek theme and an attempt at dog-latin, a lipogram and a crossword, plus a Shakepeare pastiche and a opera libretto. Hours of worthwhile fun for dipping into and exploring.
