The story unfolds during the time of Christ in Jericho, Palestine, focusing on the lives of several characters intertwined with themes of wealth, moral integrity, love, and societal expectations. The central characters include Sakeus, a wealthy publican, his daughter Lea, and Joas, a Pharisee, who are caught in a web of personal desires and communal pressures. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Sakeus, who is preoccupied with counting his riches, revealing his internal conflict about wealth and morality. He commands his servant Ruben to check on his produce, emphasizing his material concerns. Joas, who enters later, expresses disdain toward Sakeus's profession, yet is motivated by the latter's wealth as he seeks the hand of Lea in marriage. Lea, however, is torn between her father's expectations and her burgeoning feelings for Aram, a poor Sadducee. As tensions rise with the introduction of religious themes, the stage is set for conflicts over love, values, and the influence of a visiting prophet, hinting at profound changes in their lives. This opening scene establishes compelling character dynamics and moral dilemmas that resonate throughout the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
