This play reinterprets the story of Mary Magdalene, a prominent figure in Christian texts, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption. The narrative delves into the complexities of her character and relationships, particularly her connection with the figure of Jesus Christ, as well as her struggles with societal perceptions of femininity and morality. The opening of the play introduces us to the lush gardens of Annœus Silanus in Bethany, where two characters, Silanus and Lucius Verus, discuss the beauty of their surroundings and reminisce about a woman named Mary Magdalene. Verus expresses his intrigue and desire for her, but Silanus hints at her troubled past and the emotional turmoil that surrounds her. As the scene unfolds, Mary enters, displaying a frustration with the thefts she's suffered, setting a tone of tension and vulnerability that pervades her character throughout the play. The narrative moves to an impending confrontation with a crowd driven by zealotry, with Mary at the center of their hostility, leading to a dramatic moment of intervention by Jesus, who proclaims, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her!" This moment establishes the core conflict of the play, highlighting the core themes of sin, judgment, and redemption that will develop throughout.
