I recently watched a play at my high school. It is a Biblical story, and in an earlier version starred the host of the game show "Pyramid." Who is the host, and what is the play called?

Not the one you're looking for as I'm in the wrong country, but Steve Jones was the UK host, when the programme was on over 20 years ago. I also saw him presenting a radio show some years later. Just a bit of extra info! Sep 23 05, 5:19 PM

Extra Information is always greatly appreciated, sat. I was actually thinking of making a quiz on hosts from around the world! Sep 23 05, 5:26 PM

Thanks, I agree that as long as background information's relevant it all adds to the depth of the knowledge. And we called it 'The pyramid game' here rather than just pyramid. http://www.ukgameshows.com/index.php/The_Pyramid_Game He says that was the peak of his TV career and didn't want to let it go downhill so switched to radio after that.

I'm obviously missing something here. What is the biblical story in question, what is this "earlier version," and what is the play called? Isn't that what Priscilla asked? Sep 23 05, 6:46 PM

It's interesting he got the role, Donny Osmand comes from a strict Morman family who I am sure encouraged his pursuit of this lead part in the Biblical musical. Sep 25 05, 5:40 PM
