The Seven Year Switch

About this ebook
The love at first sight shared by the trickster Jacob and lovely Rachel is one of the most romantic stories in the Bible, but their courtship was filled with surprises and challenges. The Seven Year Switch is about the "morning after," when Jacob awakens in his marriage bed expecting to find Rachel, but discovers her father has pulled a fast one. No wilting damsel in distress, the wily Rachel engineers a suitable payback.
Freely adapted from Genesis 29, The Seven Year Switch is a funny and forthright biblical comedy one-act that is easy to cast and stage with minimal resources.
