Job (from the Greek bible)

Duration: about 70 minutes

This Trial by Ordeal is arguably the most sublime and enriching of all these adaptations–and certainly the most surprising! Go straight to David Ford’s essay (under Further reading) to understand the choice of Greek from 2500 years ago. Listen to the incidental music (arranged from a 16th C Missa de Sancto Job), and watch scenes 5–7 for the gripping court-room drama.
