The close proximity of the audience does not afford the Paulus cast any portion of the anonymity that I think casts in larger theaters enjoy. Put another way, it was mighty cozy in there almost as if the audience had been empowered to steer the course of events to its own liking.
In what was the most gripping of scenes, I could see the spray of spittle jettisoned from the lips of lead actor Daniel Cantor in his portrayal of disciple Paul of Tarsus pleading his cause before the arrogant and boorishly self-indulgent Roman procurator whose hangmen tightened their remarkably authentic-looking nooses around Paulus's neck and that of his loyal servant whose passionate defense of his master was exceeded only by his verbosity of which I too have been accused.
5 Stars! *****
