The play is divided into four acts and follows Joseph's journey from his early life in Canaan to his rise to power in Egypt. The play explores themes of jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption. It also touches on the idea of divine providence and how God's plan can manifest in unexpected ways. Through the character of Joseph, the play emphasizes the importance of faith, humility, and perseverance in the face of adversity.Gairdner's writing style is poetic and lyrical, with rich descriptions and vivid imagery. The play is meant to be performed as a passion play, with a focus on the emotional intensity of the characters and their relationships.
