Present the New Testament

This passage from Acts is inherently dramatic and lends itself to being presented as a drama.

You will need: a crowd of six or more people, and ‘Peter’. Three (or more) members of the crowd represent the disciples. They should speak loudly and all at the same time with phrases such as ‘Jesus is alive’, ‘Praise the Lord’, ‘He is risen’, ‘Jesus is Lord’. After a while, other voices in the crowd say, ‘Aren’t all these people Galileans?’ and ‘How is it that each of us hears them in our native language?’ Then, ‘Parthians, Medes and Elamites’, ‘Some are residents of Mesopotamia’, ‘Judea’, ‘Cappadocia’, ‘Pontus’, ‘Asia’, ‘Phrygia and Pamphylia’, ‘Egypt’, ‘Libya near Cyrene’. There is scope here to involve anywhere between two and fourteen people! After a brief pause, someone calls out, ‘Nah – they’ve had too much wine!’ Peter moves to a prominent place (e.g. a step, or lectern or pulpit) to deliver his speech (2.14b-21).
