Synopsis: “A prophet's life inspires awe in actions defying the written law.” 
Meet Cyrus Burkham, a modern day prophet who has been given the 11th Commandment by God.  Wounded, winded, and drunk he has retreated to an isolated cabin where he recounts his path to righteousness.  His journey has brought him followers who now are hot on his trail, hunting him down, closing in, intent on their martyr.  The Gospel of Cyrus is a chilling new play which will challenge your mind and make you question what you see as truth.
