"The
Case of Humanity vs.
Pontius Pilate"
by Dorothy and George Fox,
Nancy S. and Reginald Hubley, and Joan and Jack Tressler*
|
| wATCH
as Pontius Pilate, who feels misrepresented by history, asks for
a trial regarding his role in the crucifixion of Jesus.
Set in a modern
courtroom, the events are re-examined as if they happened only yesterday.
Faith, greed, and hope
conflict in those most involved in history's greatest story. |
| Listen
as the attorneys present their witnesses and the facts--the truths and
the half-truths--which complicate the plot and increase the tension. Witnesses
include Caiaphas, Mary Magdalene, Pilate's wife, some of the disciples and
others. |
| Take
Part
as members of the
audience cast the final vote. The
experience of the play, the verdict, and the resulting
discussion of the events leading up to the crucifixion make this a new
yet profound examination of the meaning of the Passion. |
| The play
runs about an hour and twenty minutes It is suitable for all ages, but will
be best enjoyed by adults and teens. The core of actors performing
the piece brings humor, compassion and a realistic touch to the wide
range of characters.
