“With reference to your question whether the Figures of the 
Báb and Bahá’u’lláh should be made to appear as characters in 
dramatic works written by the believers, Shoghi Effendi’s opinion 
is that such an attempt to dramatize the Manifestations 
would be highly disrespectful, and hence should be avoided by 
the friends, even in the case of the Master.  Besides it would be 
practically impossible to carry out such a plan faithfully, and in 
a dignified and befitting manner.”
