Almost two thousand years ago a Roman Governor was asked to judge and pass sentence on a carpenter. A carpenter who had done nothing but philosophise and preach the inherent goodness of 'Man'. The religious significance of this event is well chronicled. However, little is known of the central characters who took part in the events leading to the Crucifixion, in particular, Pontius Pilate.

Spark in Judea explores Pilate's inner conflict; his dilemma of choice between conscience and duty. The play deals powerfully with the more tangible conflicts between the two 'faces' of Rome: Pilate's diplomacy versus the 'sword' of the garrison commander, Marius, and Rome versus the religious hierarchy of the Sanhedrin.

Many Thanks to Roadcone and Usenet for all these lost gems.
