The life-changing story of Jesus’ death and resurrection is told from the unique perspective of the Samaritan woman at the well as she is transformed by the sacrificial love of Christ in this passionate new work from Deborah Craig-Claar, Allan Douglas and Phillip Keveren. Two actresses portray the woman called Anna – an older woman who looks back at the Passion events from a post-resurrection perspective, and her younger counterpart who encounters Jesus at the well and joins His followers in Jerusalem during Passion Week. The extraordinary score includes songs written or made popular by today’s most accomplished artists, including Michael W. Smith, Keith Getty, Stuart Townend, Matt Maher, and Natalie Grant. Phillip Keveren’s breathtaking chamber ensemble instrumentation creates an intimate and compelling experience. At only 40 minutes in length and with only two female characters, one male character, and purely optional sets/lights/costumes, Never Thirst Again can be offered by churches of any size or production capability.
