Synopsis
Unlikely Conversations About Jesus is a series of five mini-dramas designed for the Lenten season to help refresh the memory of God's people concerning the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.Based on scriptural fact and tradition, these imaginary conversations may be performed in a church chancel or on a stage. Several of the mini-dramas use narrators. Costuming and props are minimal. Each mini-drama involves two or three people.
The conversations occur between:
An elder and Peter before the Passover
Judas and Mary Magdalene after the Last Supper
Caiaphas and the wife of Pilate between the trials
Simon of Cyrene and Herod after the trials
Pilate and Jesus' mother after the crucifixion
