Who better to tell you what the story
is about than Lee Mead, star of the West End
show and victim of bullying.
“Joseph
is the favourite son of Jacob. His 11 brothers
resent the fact that their father dotes on him
so much, and become really angry when Jacob
gives Joseph an amazing multi-coloured coat.
Joseph also has incredible dreams which he claims
predict that he will be far more successful
than any of his brothers. The brothers get extremely
jealous and decide that something needs to be
done about Joseph and his arrogant behavior
so they attack him in a field. They plan to
throw him in a pit to die, but they change their
minds and sell him as a slave in return for
some cash. They tear up Joseph’s coat,
cover it in goat’s blood, and tell their
father that he has tragically died.
In the end, Joseph becomes an advisor to the
Pharaoh (Egyptian King) and is rewarded with
lots of money. The brothers suffer from famine
and travel to Egypt in search of food, where
they find, but don’t recognise Joseph.
Joseph tests their honesty, and the brothers
pass, before revealing his true identity and
the family is reunited.”
