SCRIPT PREVIEW
Synopsis
The curtain separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple was four inches thick, sixty feet long and thirty feet wide. Three hundred priests were required to lift the four-ton curtain into place! The ripping of this curtain when Jesus was crucified was remarkable – but what was it really saying? This play imagines a meeting between a young temple priest and John, Jesus’ disciple. Both have lost the source of their power: the temple curtain and all it symbolizes for the priest, and Jesus himself for John. In tearing, the curtain that was designed to keep people out now lets them in. That changed everything! Themes include loss and God’s availability, with a final challenge to the congregants witnessing the performance.
