No. 22 : EASTER DAY

by Geoff Edkins

©1990

INSTRUMENTAL with the following action taking the form of a mime
show. JESUS' body is taken down from the podium and carried
reverently off stage. MARY and some others stay overcome by grief CS.
Slowly and with dignity they exit, following where JESUS' body has
been taken. As the music changes to the major key, the lighting
depicts dawn and renewal. Two DISCIPLES enter and discover JESUS'
body has gone. They are elated and excited. They see angels in the
tomb. Triumphantly they leave to find the others to tell them. As
the music returns to the minor key, MARY, saddened and bowed enters
and is devastated to discover the tomb is empty. Heartbroken, she
kneels SC. JESUS, in a shining white suit (if possible), stands
behind her. He watches her. Just before the music returns to the
major key, he speaks..

JESUS : Mary.

She turns, recognises him and is overwhelmed. She rises and makes to
hold him, but he steps back and indicates that she must not touch him.
He goes. She is left, exalted.
