And now for something completely different? We have all heard of the story Jonah and the Whale, even if only throught Disney via Pinochio. But what do we really know of this minor prophet of the Old Testament? Well, my Jonah is a Pythonesque take on the book of the Bible in which the epon is a repeat offending sinner, a bit like Midas but a very different animal altogether. I have hewn to the general outline of the biblical Jonah, which is only four chapters, but, as to be expected in any MC production, liberties have been taken, and there are, even by my pre-established standards, some very strange elements in this interpretation, not all entirely the culpa of your beloved MC. 

In Act I after an introductory prologue of course, our Jonah catches up with two fellow prophets who, after an unsettling encounter on the road, provide him with some medicinal fortification to gird him for doing the Lord's bidding, which is to preach to the people of distant NIneveh lest the Lord destroy them utterly. In the course of these preparations for his assignment, some of the backstory to the Lord's selection of Jonah is revealed, as well as more background into Jonah's character, or lack thereof. Why Jonah indeed! At any rate, enjoy this deep dive into the tale of the great minor prophet Jonah!
