CAST (Entire Play)
Principal Roles
-
OLD MAN NARRATOR — reflective guide; gentle authority; carries thematic spine.
-
LITTLE GIRL — simple, honest questions; moral clarity; disarming presence.
-
YOUTH 1 — modern youth; articulate; carries “quiet doubt” monologues.
-
YOUTH 2 — modern youth; anger and grief; avoids vulnerability.
-
YOUTH 3 — modern youth; anxious; tries hard; “stay awake” energy.
-
DISCIPLE (PETER) — fear-driven loyalty; denial arc begins here.
-
DISCIPLE (JOHN) — steady, observant; tenderness; stays near sorrow.
-
MARY MAGDALENE / WOMAN DISCIPLE — grief, courage, devotion.
-
ROMAN SOLDIER (MARCUS) — duty-bound; not cruel by nature; conflicted.
-
RELIGIOUS LEADER (CAIAPHAS / LEADER) — order-driven; sincere fear; moral blindness.
-
TEMPLE AIDE / OFFICER — assists leader; practical; uneasy.
-
CENTURION / SECOND SOLDIER (optional) — older soldier; hardened; teaches “duty.”
Ensemble Doubling (as needed)
-
Crowd / additional disciples / guards / women / passersby (2–6 performers depending on cast size).
Doubling suggestions (safe and clear):
-
Youth ensemble can double as disciples and crowd.
-
Temple aide can double as a modern “mentor voice” youth if needed.
-
Second soldier can double as a modern youth “friend.”
