Behold the Man: Part 1

Part 1 is the first half of a play that has occupied playwright, Frank Crocitto, for the better part of forty years. Begun at Herbert Berghof’s Playwrights Foundation and recently produced at New Paltz’s The Present Company, the play utilizes the Catholic devotion created by St. Francis of Assisi to reveal the inner struggle of Jesus of Nazareth as he walks from Pilate’s judgment hall to Calvary. With honesty, love and reverence, the play telescopes the life and triumphs of Jesus as he moves from station to station on the Way of the Cross.
