To try to forget Jesus' approaching fate the company light-heartedly mock the way in which some people are converted. At the Last Supper, Jesus holds up a mirror to show them their worldly appearances. They remove their clown makeup as Jesus bids each of them farewell. He then climbs the fence where he hangs with outstretched arms as in the Crucifixion. Review Quote - "His tunes ... are invigorating." Plays and Players MUSICAL NUMBERS: ACT ONE 1.
