Synopsis: | The events immediately prior to and during the week of Christ's crucifixion are viewed in historical context. Judas, the business manager and strategist of the band of disciples is con-fronted with an eccentric wish on the part of the "Rabbi," a charismatic, if uneducated Gallilean, to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies by sacrificing himself at the Passover festivities in Jerusalem. Judas struggles to dissuade the Nazarine from such a desperate and foolish plan. Jesus stuns Judas by telling him he must engineer the event by betraying the master to the authorities. Judas, sworn to secrecy, tries to prevent the catastrophe, but finally is caught up in a swirl of events that lead to Judas' destruction and the Nazarine's martyrdom. | |||||

In the course of the action Will Shakespeare, Thomas More and other figures from the past are brought back to answer to Richard. In the end Richard discovers that the truth is a two-edged sword.

Synopsis: | Tom and Mary, a young, troubled married couple, are visited by Nicky and Rollo, toughs from the surrounding ghetto neighborhood. The ensuing confrontation escalates until the close of the act finds Tom in helpless frustration as he listens to the sound of Mary and Nicky making love in the other room. The second act finds Tom and Mary dipping deep into the "mythos" to find the resources to reject this primitive animal assault. They finally find the means to punish their tormentors and to create a new and stronger basis for their relation-ship. | |||||
