Mirza Husayn-Ali, who is known to the world by His title, Baha’u’llah, was born in Tehran, Iran on 12 November, 1817. Baha’u’llah means “Glory of God” in Arabic and He is the Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith. The anniversary of the day He was born is celebrated alongside the Birth of the forerunner of His Revelation, the Bab. These Twin Holy Days are celebrated annually as one festival where the closely interwoven missions of these two Divine Luminaries are remembered together.
A Gift for Baha’u’llah’ is a play that was performed in Whittlesea, Victoria in Australia for the bicentenary anniversary of the Birth of Baha’u’llah on 21 October 2017.

The Baha’i youth in our community of Bamenda, Cameroon, wish to perform a play for the upcoming Bicentenary. I learned about your play “A Gift for Baha’u’llah” and wondered if the script could be make available for other communities to use.
Sincerely,
Dave

Hi David! That’s wonderful to hear! I’ll email you directly about getting in touch with the Baha’is in Whittlesea. We merely added the video to Baha’i Blog and sadly, we do not have access to the script ourselves.
