The Red Tent

Dinah is her first name. Her existence is only hinted to in the Bible during a brief and violent diversion within the more recognized Book of Genesis chapters about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons. This epic miniseries exposes the traditions and anguish of ancient womanhood via Dinah's lyrical voice. Dinah's story begins with the account of her moms, Jacob's four wives, Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah. They adore Dinah and offer her gifts that will get her through a hardworking youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a faraway nation. Dinah describes the world of the red tent, where women were sequestered during their cycles of birth, menstruation, and illness; her initiations into her tribe's religious and sexual practices; Jacob's courtship with his four wives; the mystery and wonder of caravans, farmers, shepherds, and slaves; love and death in Shechem; her half-brother Joseph's rise in Egypt; and, of course, her marriage to Shechem and its bloody consequences.
