Synopsis

Act 1 | The Wilderness of Canaan
Long ago in the Land of Canaan, Jacob fell in love with Rachel but was deceived into marrying her sister Leah. Though Jacob loved Rachel more, Leah had many children while Rachel only had one son, Joseph. This created tension and jealousy among the siblings, especially the older brothers Reuben, Simeon, and Judah, who were responsible for tending the lambs. Joseph, known for his honesty and humility, was favored by Jacob, which intensified their envy. Jacob gifted Joseph a coat of many colors, fueling their resentment. One night, Joseph had a dream where his family bowed down to him, deepening his brothers' animosity. Seizing the opportunity, they sold Joseph to a Gypsy Queen, leaving Jacob heartbroken, believing his beloved son was dead.

Act 2 | Potiphar’s Citadel
The moonlight bathed the marble walls and ancient hieroglyphics of Potiphar's house in Egypt. Potiphar, a trusted advisor to Pharaoh, lived there with his beautiful yet vain wife, Mrs. Potiphar. Joseph, now a slave in their household, served Potiphar diligently while displaying kindness and humility. Mrs. Potiphar's infatuation grew for Joseph, but he resisted her advances. On the eve of Potiphar's birthday, Mrs. Potiphar had a sumptuous cake prepared for her husband. While Joseph cleaned the palace, she tried to trick him into tasting the forbidden cake, but he steadfastly refused. In a devious act, she smashed the cake on Joseph's face just as Potiphar returned home, leading to Joseph's unjust imprisonment. In the darkness of his cell, Joseph, along with the Patisserie Chef, faced frustration and despair. They encountered a Vintner who used to serve Pharaoh and who had troubling dreams. Joseph interpreted their dreams, predicting the Vintner's restoration and the Patisserie Chef's future suffering.

Act 3 | Pharaoh's Court
Three years later, Pharaoh began having recurring nightmares, leaving her perplexed and troubled. Rumors reached her about Joseph, the man in the palace prison who possessed the gift of dream interpretation. Desperate for answers, Pharaoh summoned Joseph and shared her dream. Joseph explained that Egypt would experience seven years of abundant harvest followed by seven years of devastating famine. Impressed by Joseph's wisdom, Pharaoh elevated him to the position of second-in-command, entrusting him to prepare for the impending crisis. Egypt thrived during the years of abundance, and Joseph's foresight saved the nation during the famine. In the midst of the scarcity, Joseph's family in Canaan faced hardship, prompting them to seek food in Egypt. Unbeknownst to them, Joseph recognized his brothers but decided to test their character. He planted a golden cup in Benjamin's bag and accused him of theft. Reuben, Simeon, and Judah fought vehemently to protect Benjamin, displaying a change of heart. Overwhelmed with emotions, Joseph revealed his identity and the family rejoiced at the miraculous reunion. Pharaoh celebrated their joyous gathering, and Jacob's family relocated to Egypt. Through Joseph's faithfulness and God's providence, what was intended as evil turned into a great good, and Pharaoh's court turned to worship the one true God.
