The enduring mystery of the Gospels is how the disciples could have been surprised by Jesus’ death and subsequent resurrection when he told them ahead of time that they were going to happen.Thus, the mission of The Wineskin Project: to bring to the fore that sense of being out to sea the disciples must have felt as they tried their best to follow this…entity to whom they had assigned the theological label of “messiah”.
I also continue in this play a plot development that’s been growing for a while now: the movement of Judas from one of the most steady and committed of the disciples to the one who will eventually sell Jesus to the authorities. How does this happen? It begins with who Judas thought Jesus was.
