There is something about plays that brings out the creativity in people. Watching our class perform group interpretations of the 14th Century The York Play of the Crucifixion was such a great experience. From the poetic rewritings of the play, to the rapping Jesus Christ, I believe our class demonstrated the limitless possibilities for creative expression and modern interpretation that is contained within literature.
My group in particular choose to focus on how each member of the human race was represented by the four soldiers in the play, and how our sins individually put Christ on the cross. The York Play of the Crucifixion's message of sacrifice and redemption is one that is far reaching in its power and will continue to inspire readers for centuries more to come.
