Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - 2009

Picture
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat was St. Andrew's Amateur Theatre Companies first ever production, performed at the newly established Moreno Performing Arts Centre at MacKillop College Werribee, where performances continue to be performed today.

Opening night was (as has become tradition of St. Andrew's performance seasons) on the first weekend of December, in 2009.

Synopsis:

The play opens with the Narrator finding an old book, picking it up, blowing off the dust, and starting to read. The story she relates is of a young dreamer, a man named Joseph, the same Joseph whose story is told in the book of Genesis.

Joseph was born into a family of twelve boys, all the sons of Jacob. Joseph is Jacob's favourite son and to show everyone that he is pleased with him, Jacob gives Joseph a splendid multi-colour coat. However, this coat, along with Joseph's talk of dreams he has had showing he will be the ruler of his brothers, arouse the jealousy of the other eleven. They decide to kill him, but before they get the chance, they meet up with the group of Ishmaelites travelling to Egypt. A plan is hatched, and they sell their brother as a slave instead.

So Joseph is taken off to Egypt, and his brothers return to tell their father that his favourite son is dead, producing his wonderful coat, which they have stained with the blood of a goat, as proof.

Potiphar, a powerful man of Egypt, takes Joseph into his household as a slave. While there, Joseph works so hard and is so honest, that Potiphar begins to admire him greatly. Unfortunately, he also catches the eye of his master's wife, who tries to seduce him. When Potifer catches them together, he assumes the worst (even though Joseph was innocent) and sends Joseph to prison. While there Joseph meets two of Pharaoh's servants, a butler and a baker, both of whom have had strange dreams. Joseph interprets their dreams, correctly telling their future.

In the meantime, Pharaoh, the most powerful man in Egypt, has also been having unusual dreams. No one can interpret these dreams, so Pharaoh is intrigued when he hears of the young slave's ability. He immediately has Joseph brought before him to interpret his dreams.

Joseph offers his interpretation that seven years of bounty will be followed by seven years of famine, and Pharaoh is so impressed that he appoints Joseph to a post in the government. He will be in charge of storing food for their upcoming hard times.

When the famine does hit, Joseph's father and his brothers in Canaan are ill-prepared. They hear that their is food in Egypt, so the brothers travel there to beg for assistance. Once there, they are brought before Joseph who recognises them immediately even though they do not know him. He test their honesty and humility by planting a golden chalice in the sack of his brother, Benjamin, to see what they will say. When confronted with the supposed evidence of theft, the brothers maintain the boy's innocence and offer to let themselves be taken prisoner instead.

Joseph sees that his brothers have changed, so, to everyone's great joy, he reveals his true identity. Finally, Jacob is brought to Egypt to join his family and to again see his beloved son at last.
