PERSONS IN THE PLAY
Three Musicians (their faces made up to resemble masks)
Christ (wearing a mask)
Lazarus (wearing a mask)
Judas (wearing a mask)
Three Roman Soldiers (their faces masked or made up to resemble masks) At the beginning of the play the First Musician comes to the front of the bare place, round three sides of which the audience are seated, with a folded cloth hanging from his joined hands. Two other Musi cians come,... one from either side, and unfold the cloth so that it shuts out the stage, and then fold it again, singing and moving rhythmically. They do the same at the end of the play, which enables the players to leave the stage unseen. [Song for the folding and unfolding of the cloth]
