Excerpt from Johannes: Trag???die in F???nf Akten Und Einem Vorspiel Johannes is based upon the biblical incident of John the Baptist, Herodias and Salome. The play Opens with the preacher in the wilderness of Judaea, with the heavy-laden and lowly gathered around him. To all of them, groaning under the Roman domin' ion and the tyranny of their own rulers, he speaks in bold and inspiring words of the coming of the Messiah, rebuking without distinction the sins of all classes and all grades. With an instinctive convic tion of his mission, he is ready to enter Jerusalem. His soul, devoured for a short time by doubt, has become quiet again. He remembers his mission to prepare the way for him who is to come. And when he appears in the streets of Jerusalem, strange and full of deep significance is the scene which the Holy City presents at this time, the season of Passover. The streets are filled with multitudes of Jews and pilgrims, who had come up from all quarters of the world to celebrate the Feast. With burning words he incites the people to revolt against the crime of Herod who had just entered into marriage with Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. When at the palace of the king, surrounded by the infuriated mob and sophistic Phar isees who try to embarrass him with numerous ques tions, he observes a brooding silence. The message, Higher than Law and Sacrifice is Love, coming from the lips of a chance Galilean, agitates his soul to its very depth.
