Scott as Christ:
The exhaustive photo essay on
The Death & Burial of Christ
The wagon rolls into the space in front of the first audience. The black-clad guy squinting back was one of the B&D soldiers from an earlier play. He wore fishnets stockings & combat boots all day (rowr!). Brett (the math doctor) is dressed as Joseph of Aramathea on the far left. | |
The cross is slotted into the wagon (I told you it was an exhaustive essay). You can just see Scott's head & bare shoulders overtop the green-clad gentleman crouching in the foreground...a brief taste of the loincloth party to come! | Scott rather awkwardly ascends to where he'll be taunted & crucified in a few short minutes. You can see the joy written in every line of his out-of-focus body. (Note: Scott tends to be visually sharper in real life) |
Let the crucifixion begin! | |
The conspirators responsible for the crucifixion skulk & plan in the shadows while I hope for the best & use an autofocus camera to take a lovely clear picture of the banister between us. | |
"Woman, cease thy lamentations." |
Perhaps you've noticed that Mary Mother of God has yet to look up from her little book the entire play. This is because she over-committed & failed to learn her lines. I was particularly bitter because an exam prevented me from trying out for the role. Did I hear snickering? C'mon people! Everything about me screams "merciful mother of god"! |
