CrossWise Players
Drama, Music, Mime - "God's Work at Play"


The People Versus Christ

 

The People Versus Christ was written for the nationally famed Drama Trio, from the University of Redlands. Three players play all the roles, even though the cast may call for diverse characters. The actors enacting more than one role do so with voice, diction, posture, movement, gestures and, above all, emotional involvement in each character. This is no change of makeup or costume, since either would detract from the style. 

The People Versus Christ has been presented in cathedral chancels, in gardens, in beautifully equipped theaters, in studios and living rooms, in enormous auditoriums, and in a clearing in the woods. In this CrossWise production of The People Versus Christ we find Mary in a courtroom being questioned about the validity of Christ's life, particularly the events surrounding his death. Events move from a modern courtroom setting to the events of 2000 years ago as Mary reacts to the questions of a prosecutor and as she interacts with characters including Peter and Judas.
