Opis

On January 8, 1959, five American missionaries were speared to death by members of the Waodani Tribe in Ecuador. The Waodani, also known as Auca or Savages because of their brutality, lived a nomadic life of killing which resulted in isolation and reduced their numbers to approximately 50 tribesmen. This play is based on actual events in the lives of those Christian missionaries: Ed and Marilou McCully, Jim and Elizabeth (Betty) Elliot, Pete and Olive Fleming, Roger and Barbara Youderian, and Nate and Marj Saint and their encounters with the Waodani tribe. This play script for Somebody Say Glory is written to allow production as a drama, as a musical supported by contemporary Christian music, or as a musical supported by hymns from the Public Domain.
