Title: A "Prince of Egypt" for English majors
Review: Christopher Fry's "Firstborn" is a verse play on the story of Exodus. He pictures Moses' choice between Egyptian princehood or freedom for the Hebrews as a choice between desire and wisdom. Moses feels compelled to obey the command of his conscience, but finds little happiness in doing so. The play was written in 1946, and the oppression of the Hebrews in Egypt serves as a vehicle for examining the injustice for the Jews of Fry's day.
